Oversize Photo Album
Dec 14, 2018 11:34:14 #
I have been making books that are 8/10 and 10x14 inches. Not really happy with the print quality. Thinking about creating some fine are prints and putting them in an album. Thinking maybe a large 3-ring binder with plastic sleeves to put the photos in. That way I can change / add / subtract photos. Could do a binder for portraits, landscape and structures, which are the basic themes I shoot. I've googled it and only come up with albums large enough for 8x10. What I would really like is to print the images up to 12x18. Has anyone seen this type of album?

Check the Dick Black art supply web site. They do have some larger sizes but it might not be what you are looking for. They have a type of album where you insert the artwork between a plastic cover and the paper back and have multiple sizes.

I have found albums and loose-leaf pages for 13x19 on Amazon and am pleased with what I found.

In ancient times these were called portfolios and all art supply stores sold them. Watercolour artists did their work on large paper and needed a place to store and carry them. Unfortunately art supply stores aren't very common these days; nor are physical portfolios. One of my gallery owners actually suggests doing 8x10's, as they're easier to deal with. Some galleries don't return submissions, so doing something cheaply means you're not giving away quite so much. My first search place would be Dick Blick and Jerry's Artarama.

I use Itoya Portfolio books - they come in all sizes and I have 4 x 6 all the way to 13 x 19 - and I purchase them at my local camera shop: Roberts Photo. I also use three ring binders and plastic sleeves. Light Impressions, University Products, and Gaylord have a lot of options.

I know a couple of photographers that use that size for their portfolios. Custom made. Try LeatherCraftsmen.

Michael's and Hobby Lobby both sell a variety of portfolio cases in a couple of different price ranges and a number of sizes. They don't have as much variety as in earlier years, but they do have a number of choices. I bought mine to store ~16x24 prints. It is actually larger than that and can hold at least 20x30 prints. Mine was about $65 as I recall. They had come less expensive choices, but I felt they wouldn't be durable enough. They also had some smaller sizes and one that was larger.

Craft supply stores that do framing and Aaron Brothers also carry the Itoya products. They also carry 8.5 by 11 portfolio's that make it unnecessary to trim the paper from a home printer to fit an 8x10. If you have any square format images there are scrap booking albums at 8x8 and 12x12.

Itoya makes a portfolio series that might fit your needs. They have 16x20, 17x22, and 18x24.
