About

We take too many pictures - and do too little with them.

At 20 Photos, we help you move from digital overload to something tangible. From thousands of images sitting in your camera roll to a carefully chosen set that captures the feeling of a chapter - printed, framed, and ready to live with.

We don’t just sort photos. We help you find the ones that feel like your story.

Our system groups and filters your images so you're not left scrolling through duplicates or wondering what to keep. From there, we select the moments that matter - not necessarily the best lit or most posed, but the ones that pull at you. The ones you might have overlooked in the rush, but can’t stop thinking about later.

Whether it’s one image for your wall or a set to keep in a box, this is about anchoring memories before they slip away.

We’ve seen how hard it is to choose. That’s why we don’t ask you to.

Why 20?

Because 20 is just enough.

The human brain is wired to remember stories in small sets. A great photographer knows a portfolio should never be more than 20 images. Any story - if told well - can be told in 20 pictures or fewer.

This isn’t about minimalism for its own sake. It’s about meaning. When you limit what you keep, you give each image space to resonate. The result is something human-scaled, memorable, and emotionally grounded. Not a digital archive- but a physical reminder of the life you’re already living.

Twenty is enough. Enough to tell a story. Enough to remember.

Where it began

20 Photos was created by Jo Tennant, an award-winning photographer who, like many of us, found herself overwhelmed by her own digital archive. What started as a personal frustration became a new kind of curation process - designed for people who care about their memories, but don’t have time to do anything with them.

We’ve now helped hundreds of people rediscover the photos they’d nearly forgotten - and made them into something they can hold, frame and pass on.
