A few years ago I took a look on my living room wall and noticed something. I had a plethora of hanging photos memorializing moments from decades ago extending right up until about the 20 teens. At that point, printed photos came almost to a complete stop. I suspect this corresponds to the rise of the smartphone and related services like google photos and social media where we can show off our favourite photos and memories to friends and strangers alike on the world wide web.
Is it time to get back to physical photos?
In these uncertain times, what happens if you lose your phone with all your favourite photos, your laptop hard drive fails or Google gets hacked and all google photos images get deleted??
Well in the last year I have been on a rampage with making physical photo books of my vacations and, importantly, printing larger prints of our most precious memories. Over time I have looked at different printing methods such as various types of paper, acrylic and finally, metal.
Of all the methods I find metal prints to be the sharpest, brightest and most colourful vibrant way to print your special images. When done right the images almost seem backlit. This is how I want to save my special photos.
How can you get metal prints?
I have partnered with VIVID METAL PRINTS to help make it easier to get the absolutely best quality prints into your hands.
Using the discount code LEHWEGO gets you 15% off at checkout when you order YOUR metal prints.
If I have taken a photo of you that you LOVE and want to print, simply slide into the @LEHWEGO DM on instagram and send me the image and your email address. I will do my best to find and send you the full resolution version of the photo and humbly ask that you print it at VIVID.
To order your metal print you can go to their metal print order page HERE, select your size and finish (I suggest a wall mount backing with White Gloss Metal Print). Then complete your order, and mail your print to mailpac, shipme or your favourite freight forwarder.
So take my humble advice and convert some of your favourite photos to physical media and put them on your walls to save those moments. And use my code at VIVID to help support me and my absolutely fabulous hobby of capturing your smiles.
