I recently met with the Australian representatives of the online self-publishing company Blurb.

They gave me a voucher to review the service by creating a book from scratch so I made a “Road Less Travelled Photo Book” with Urban, Desert, Mountains and Storm themes using a selection of the many photos I’ve taken over the years.

Please have a look at the book preview below and tell me what you think of the design and photo choices.

Note: the book preview may take a little while to load, click “Fullscreen” in the top right corner to see the book in more detail.

Taking The Road Less Travelled by Neerav Bhatt

From the book blurb on the inside cover:
Journeys through Urban Streetscapes, Arid Deserts, Snowy Mountains and Stormy Weather in Australia and New Zealand

Photo Locations include:

Australia: Sydney, Stockton Sand Dunes, Painted Desert, Oodnadatta Track, Chambers Pillar, Rainbow Valley, Uluru-Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon (Watarrka), Trephina Gorge, Alice Springs, Charlotte Pass.

New Zealand: Milford Sound, Mitre Peak, Fox Glacier, Tasman Glacier, Lake Tekapo, Dunedin, Wairaurahiri River.

I have initially priced the book at the cost of production so you can buy a copy for your coffee table if you wish for:

• Softcover: AUD $26.95
• Hardcover Dust Jacket: AUD $39.95
• Hardcover ImageWrap: AUD $41.95

I will write an article with tips about how to choose photos and design a great photobook once mine is printed and delivered, so I know if the choices I made were good.
