Finding your photo flow

Great photo books have rhythm. By thoughtfully arranging
your images, you can create a natural flow that keeps readers
engaged from the first page to the last.

“I tried to make pages that either contrast or complement each other. I’d put photos taken in similar lighting or at
the same location together, or I’d pair two opposite
colors across a spread to make
it visually interesting
and easier
on the eyes."

—Bohdan Lee, Blurb creator

Four rules of photo sequencing

Here's how to arrange photos in a way that guides
readers from moment to moment.

Open with intention

Your first spread sets the tone. Start with an image that invites people in and makes them want
to turn the page.

Vary the rhythm

Mix wide shots, details, quiet moments, and big highlights. Variety keeps readers engaged and gives your story momentum.

Use contrast

Pair light with dark, busy with calm, and close-up with wide. Contrast helps each image feel more impactful.

End with resonance

The final image is often the one people remember. Choose a photo that leaves a lasting feeling.
