I think square would make the book look more unique, add some style

i would do square, that way on some pages you could use portrait pictures but on others, you can stretch the picture across two pages for a landscape. that's just what i think.

I think Portrait is better because it looks more professional.
Plus you can fit more on a portait paper.

though I choose the portrait, I think that only depends on the feeling that you wanna create unto the image.

portrait is very personal, a bit like a two way conversation between the viewer and the photo, but landscape looks a bit more impersonal but more like its the photo speaking for itself, it's like a monologue but an interesting one. and square is very restrictive but it has a naughty feeling of being the peeping tom ( heh, I always thought that about the square format)

but it all depends of the image, so choose the formats that will fit the character.

:ohnoes: my brain broke.

Each has it's advantages, but landscape and square might give you more negative space to play with for the text you include in the comment section. Mentally I find it more difficult to work with the rule of thirds in a portrait setting, but it's nice to be surprised.

I voted... but I'm still torn between square and landscape.

(and yes, this lurker finally sees the sunlight. CAPSLOCK!!!!)
