Maison Gourraud

Begin your edition

the handful of things the studio can't invent

Everything else — the pages, the reel, the writing — is our side of the bargain. These few details set the masthead, tune the palette, and tell us whose story we're keeping. Two minutes, once, before day one.

You
The trip

Where does it go? Rough shape is fine: "a week under sail in the Whitsundays", "Broome to the Mitchell Plateau", "the Serengeti in September", "chasing swell in the Maldives", "marathon weekend in London".

Dates
Cast / Stars

Who's aboard or along? First names and who's who — and who's likely to steal the show. The pages read better when the characters have billing.

The keeper of the record

Most groups have one: the person who makes the album after every trip, properly, while everyone else contributes their absence. Tell us who — in this house they don't fill in forms, they command the proof. Nothing is finished until they sign it.

The palette

Every edition is set in its own colours. Pick the one that feels like the trip — we'll tune it from your first photos.

And afterwards — the encore

Once the trip has told its story, some editions close with a printed book of it. No decision needed now.

Your brief is in. Within a day you'll have your edition's private address, the sharing links for the group, and a first page waiting for its first photo.
