Recently helps you remember life’s precious moments

Recently’s new app helps people celebrate and remember every precious moment with ease.

Recently‘s concept was developed by Scott and Elizabeth Valins, a husband and wife team, whose lives have revolved around photography since they first met in line at B&H Photo Video in New York City. A commercial filmmaker and an art director respectively, the Valinses both have a passion for integrating the digital world with printed media. 

The startup aims to complement existing photo apps that save images to the camera roll. Subscribers are sent reminders when their magazines are about to go to print, and they only have to tap upload to start the automated process. Alternately, users can edit their magazines if they wish by swiping and dragging images into place.

“Mobile digital photography has increasingly become part of our culture,” said art director and Recently Co-founder Elizabeth Valins. “We’re taking more and more snapshots of our experiences, our important moments, and our everyday lives. The problem is, our pictures disappear almost as quickly as publish them on social media. Recently gives us an opportunity to remember with something that we can physically hold in our hands.”

With an estimated 880 billion photographs taken on mobile phones a year, Recently’s service provides users with the best of both the print and digital worlds. It pairs the ubiquity and convenience of digital mobile photography with the valuable tangibility of high-quality, printed photographs. Recently also provides subscribers with the ease of a fully automated one-click ordering process — users simply tap to upload their photos and their personalized magazine will be delivered.
