3 min read6 tips
Six tips for choosing photos. Tap “+” on the ones you want to try.
01
Sort by story, not by dateGroup the photos into five or six moments before you choose any.
02
One winner per momentThe sharpest shot, the happiest face, the best light. Pick one each.
03
Keep the in-between shotsThe candid, slightly messy ones often say more than the posed ones.
04
Mix close and wideFaces, hands, places. A page needs room to breathe.
05
Drop the duplicatesIf two photos say the same thing, keep the better one.
06
Let one photo be bigGive your favorite a whole page and let the others sit smaller.
