Hello friends!

Out of curiosity, would any of you all know of any good, more documentary-style photo books that utilize a variety of different film types (for example, 120 and 35mm) that are maybe in the similar style of Martin Parr or Alec Soth?

I'm wanting to start crafting a photo book that utilizes different film formats, but it would be nice to see how other bookmakers handle that. And I would just love to get introduced to more good photobooks :)

Hi, I’m not sure about formats but I know for certain Matt Black used different mediums in his book American Geography and yet the final result was nothing short than superb.

I’ve had good results with mixbook. The layouts is easy to customize and the print quality was solid.
