Journal Photography Inspiration for Submission

 We’re excited to see your journal submissions for The Archivist: An Anthology for Creative Journal Artists! If you’re feeling unsure about what kind of photos you should submit, please use these examples below for inspiration!

Journal Flat Lays

Flat lay photography is what you’ll see most when scrolling through journaling accounts on social media. Surround your journal with home décor, fabrics, and stationery supplies!

Pro-tip—surround your journal with objects and materials that match the colors in your journal page.

A simple flat lay—close up shots of your favorite part of the page are welcomed!

Environmental

On the go journal artists may want to take a picture of their journals away from the craft desk. Hold your journal up and snap a picture or nestle it next to your latte and breakfast muffin.

Hold your journal up and snap a picture!

Sometimes, nature provides the best backgrounds.

Blank Background

Let your journal stand out on a plain background. Less is more.

Struggling to get a good shot without your journal closing on you? Use clips to keep your journal open!

Angled & simple!
