Accessories Articles Product Reviews By Nick / 1st August 2014 Share Tweet Share Photobooks for PhotographersCreating a Lasting Impression with PhotobooksA lot of photographers give photobooks to clients as an end product for their work: check Weddings check Portraits check "A day in the life"...and so on, but how many use them to their advantage to attract new clients?A photobook can be a great way to showcase and get your best work in front of potential new clients. Therefore, make sure you gather you absolute best images and get them put in a high quality photobook for all to see.I have left photobooks with wedding planners, wedding venues, flower shops and dressmakers before. The plan is for them to promote me to their clients and for me to reciprocate.I used to live and work in Spain shooting weddings along the Costa del Sol. I would leave a photobook with suppliers but also offer a financial incentive in return for recommendations.This worked well but might not have if I hadn't have had a portfolio to show as well. Many brides that I have come across have a very distinct and set way of doing things. They book everyone else long before the photographer not realising just how busy we can be.Most assume that a professional photographer is "qualified and experienced" enough to shoot their wedding so it comes down to thisWhat are photographers' images like?What is the photographer like?That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Therefore, show your best work in a nice photobook and present yourself as professionally as possible...job done!Check out the benefits of doing this in our new article on photobooks for photographers here: Photobooks for Photographers: Maximizing the Use of Digital Portfolio Photo Books
