The photographs tell the story. The paper and cover set the mood. Before choosing a finish, think about how the album will be viewed, handled and shared.
Glossy and matte are useful starting points to compare. Ask to see the same image on both finishes so you can judge reflections, colour and the feel of the page for yourself. Velvet and metallic options offer a different tactile or visual character.
The cover is the first detail people notice. A simple matte cover, a sparkle finish or an embossed cover can each create a different impression. Choose it alongside your album paper, rather than as an afterthought.
