As an amateur or professional photographer, you naturally capture beautiful images on every occasion — for your clients, but also for yourself. But what do you do with all those photos from unforgettable holidays, cosy celebrations and special moments? Many images end up on a hard drive, only to be viewed again from time to time. What a shame. Turn your special photos into a tangible, personal keepsake with a Profotonet photo book. And even better: you can now choose from 8 different cover collections, offering no fewer than 40 cover colours and materials.

How do you choose the cover of your photo book?

One of the most enjoyable parts of creating a photo book is choosing the cover colour. Do you go for the soft pastel shades of the Liv Collection, or the bold, robust tones of the Rebel Collection? With so many options, it can be hard to decide. We’re happy to help you get started with a few practical tips!

1. Decide whether you want a photo on the cover or not

Make your photo book extra personal by adding your favourite photo to the front cover. There are several options to choose from, such as a photo printed on real photo paper or on linen. Want your photo book to really stand out? Choose a photo behind plexiglas. This enhances colour depth and gives your image extra dimension. Prefer a less glossy look? Go for the new anti-reflective plexiglas, which offers the same luxurious feel with a matte finish.

2. Choose your favourite material

Many people have a clear preference when it comes to the material of their photo book. Some love the natural linen look, like the Pure Collection, while others prefer the distinctive leather look. Once you know which material you like best for your cover, you can then choose the colour within that collection that suits you most.

3. Match your photo book to your interior

Choose a cover colour that complements the accessories or wall colours in your home, so your photo book becomes a true addition to your interior. Select your favourite photo and opt for a plexiglas cover, for example. Place the book in a prominent spot, such as on a bookshelf or coffee table, and enjoy your most beautiful memories every day. This way, you’ll be more likely to pick it up and flip through it, on your own or together with family and friends.

4. Choose a colour that complements your photos

Do your photos follow a particular style, theme or colour palette? Create a cohesive look by choosing a matching cover colour. For example, a forest photo series pairs beautifully with the warm brown Chocolate from the Rebel Collection, while a sunny summer holiday comes to life with the vibrant colours of the Paradise Collection. Do your photos capture an extra special moment, such as a wedding or birthday? Then make your photo book truly festive with the glittering Sparkle Collection!

5. Let your client have a say

Are you a professional photographer offering a photo book as part of a photoshoot? Taking care of everything and creating a beautiful book with your expertise is ideal. But many clients also enjoy having a say themselves — especially when it comes to choosing the cover colour.
