You've just laid your eyes on the world's largest photo album! I have no idea where anyone would get a printer to produce photographs big enough, but apparently **[Hitomi Toyama](http://www.worldrecordsacademy.org/biggest/largest_photobook_world_record_set_by_Hitomi_Toyama_80190.htm)**, a Japanese photographer did.

The 1,000 kg photo album, titled "**Women of Vietnam**," is four meters tall and 3 meters wide and features a stunning photojournalistic project of Vietnam. The photo album takes two people to turn a page, but the [53 full-colour photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio) make it worth the effort.
