If you’ve ever booked a professional photographer, you may have pondered over your final products. Is it simply enough to purchase digital files? I’d like to encourage you to consider printing your images, whether as physical prints that may be framed, as canvas prints, and/or as an album. Here are 7 indisputable reasons to print your photos.
- Digital files are important, but should not be your only result. Sometimes digital files become corrupt. Technology is constantly changing. Hard drives that we store them on can fail. Files are easily lost.
- Printed images can transform a house into a home. Think of the feeling you have when entering someone’s home decorated in memories versus a house with empty walls and no personal photos.
- Printed images make wonderful, meaningful gifts.
- I’ve written about it many times before, photography is one of our best methods of record keeping. Printed images will outlive you and will carry on your story and that of your family.
- Photos left simply as files become digital clutter and forgotten memories.
- Physical representations of memories actually have a neurological impact- more than just seeing the images on a screen. Holding a print or album in your hands creates multi-sensory engagement. Physical items require more emotional processing.
- Organizing and curating your photos can lead to cementing those memories further.
Purchasing digital files is important. Always remember to save them in multiple locations. Online file storage is helpful, and so are external hard drives. Purchasing your digital files isn’t quite enough though. Enhance your memories and your life by printing your photos.
