4 Reasons to Print Your Photographs

When was the last time you printed your photos? Snappr photographer Francois Whyte gives you four reasons why you should start.

Nowadays, even the simplest phone has a camera significantly better than the average disposal camera twenty or thirty years ago. And with almost unlimited storage options at our disposal, it’s very easy to just take thousands of photos, of which most we will never look at again. So, here’s four reasons why you should start printing your photos right now.

It reminds you of what’s important

Having to choose which photos you’re going to print will put you in the position to ask yourself: ‘what’s important to me? What memories do I want to be able to look at whenever I want to?’ Maybe it’s your family, your best friends or just a beautiful memory from your last holiday, who knows? Either way, it will be a good reminder of what matters most to you.

It brings life to your photos… and your place

Turning something virtual into something you can touch somehow makes it more real. Your picture ceases being one of many on a computer screen to suddenly becoming a part of your life. Seeing the smiles of loved ones and other cherished memories around your house can be heartwarming and inspiring. In the same way, it will make your friends and family flattered by the attention and strengthen your bond with them.

They’ll be good memories for future generations

We have all been through old photo albums, whether at our parents or grandparents’ house. How great was it to simply turn the pages of a book to relive all these random but beautiful memories. Think of your (future) kids and grandkids. They too will be happy to have a look at what your life has been like. They’ll also be happy as they grow up to find themselves in the pages of these books. It will bring the family together and uphold an unbreakable relationship throughout time.

Digital media won’t last forever

Computers, hard drives, clouds are prone to failure, not to mention that technology is constantly changing. If your photos are saved in the same space, and this space crashes, you could find yourself at risk of losing everything. While digital specialists advise to keep multiple copies, printing your best photos gives you a much higher chance of never losing them.

And if you need more convincing, you can order them on our platform directly after your photo shoot and have them delivered directly to your door. Who said it had to be complicated?
