Imagine taking this to a wedding.

Here’s a clever advertising campaign by Samsung promoting the NX11…

Get noticed.

Cheers, Nigel

  • Did you see the album we posted on our brand blog. Michael Soo photographed it himself and I stumbled across it.

    He photographed Christine and Ben’s album when it arrived and, as well as blogging it, emailed them a few photos as a teaser. Ben wrote back within minutes saying, “We’re on our way!”

    What a great, easy way to enhance the excitement and experience for his clients of seeing their album for the first time.

    Cheers, Nigel

    PS Good for business too, and we see more and more people putting juicy photography up for clients, their friends and prospects to see.

  • Those who know me know I think Seth Godin is the bee’s knees. He’s just been interviewed on the DWF Blog talking about wedding photography.

    Plenty to think about – do read it!

    “When everyone has a camera, and everyone thinks they are a photographic artist, it’s clear that access to the device is not a scarce resource. If that’s all you’ve got, I’m not going to pay you. The art isn’t in the taking of the picture.”

    Well here’s a few Queensberry friends we’ve noticed doing a fantastic job of showing off their albums.

    Abby Rosenbaum from Abby Rose Photo seems to photograph and blog about all of her albums… Here’s one of the latest albums featured on her blog.

    The team at Blue Sky Photography in the UK have a dedicated web page explaining their philosophy behind using Queensberry albums. They also include links to several example album designs.

    And New Zealand photographer Bruce Gabites of Fine Photography features some lovely images of his Queensberry albums in the album section of his website.

    How are you showing off your albums? We’d love to know!

    Cheers, Nigel

    This video by Zack Arias for Scott Kelby’s Photoshop Insider touched a chord for me. If you haven’t seen it it is worth the five minutes to do the journey.

    Zack Arias is one of the speakers at Photoshop World in March 2010.

  • The trouble with Seth Godin (I linked to him yesterday) is that once you start reading him it’s hard to stop.
    Next day he’s talking about how, when you’re starting out … or you’re struggling … or the economy isn’t hot, it’s very tempting to “take what you can get”.

    And that has consequences.

    If you’re logged in there’s more about this on our website.

    As if that’s not enough, his very next post says: “If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do work that matters, this is it. You can’t say, ‘but I need to make a fortune instead,’ because that’s not happening right now. So you might as well join the people who can say, ‘I love doing this.’ ”

    Cheers, Ian

    Yesterday our own self-confessed obsessive Johannes wrote about obsessive coffee brewers and photographers. How’s this for an obsessive soda pop shop? Forget about Coke and Pepsi, John Nese has everything (else) you could dream of. And if he doesn’t he’s looking. Seen on Seth.

    More obsessives on Chow Hound.
