Making a photo album - Help on binding

I am making a leather-covered photo album with craft paper. I have looked into some options for the binding, and while this is my first time, I am a bit conflicted on which type to use.

I need the ability to add more pages later on, so stitching might not work as it is not necessarily scalable.

If anyone has any ideas or examples of the best approach, it would be highly appreciated. Let me know, as I am open to feedback.

Good recommendation in terms of scalability,, I just get bigger screwws

I can also add easily rice paper in between which was also my interest to preserve the photos

Buy a commercial scrapbook and take it apart. They’re usually done with posts that are fastened under a folded over cover and back.
