Momento Photo Books – a name that resonated with photographers, artists, scrapbookers and memory-makers across Australia and New Zealand. For two decades, they’ve been our creative accomplices, turning our cherished moments into tangible treasures. But alas, every story has its final chapter, and today, we bid adieu to this beloved institution.
The End of an Era
Founded in 2004, Momento was more than just a photo book company; it was a gateway to nostalgia, a bridge between pixels and paper. Their Sydney-based team poured heart and soul into every project, ensuring that our memories were immortalized in ink and binding.
The Liquidation Announcement
Recently, Momento announced they are closing their doors. Economic tides, relentless as they are, have washed away this creative haven. In a heartfelt Facebook post, they shared their journey, their struggles, and their unwavering commitment to quality.
A Legacy of Excellence
Momento wasn’t just any photo book company; it was a luminary. They co-founded the first photo book festivals in our corner of the world, preserving the magic of storytelling through images. They championed self-published books, nurtured students, and celebrated camera club members. And let’s not forget their global print awards – a testament to their craftsmanship.
Options to Consider
Now that Momento is no longer an option, where should you print? You can see my printing reviews here:
I use Forever printing for all my own photo books, but over the years, I've takent the time to review a variety of different printers:
Take a Moment to Remember
As sad as it is to see a local business close for us Aussies, it serves as a reminder. Let’s remember to print our photos – to hold them, feel them, and share them. Support local businesses, cherish your memories, and keep the spirit of creativity alive.
Farewell, Momento. Your legacy lives on in our hearts and on our bookshelves.
