jvk_smallFor a country with the population of the San Francisco Bay Area, New Zealand has a lot of great photographers, and we’re proud that many of them are Queensberry clients.

We’re delighted to say that one of the best has agreed to write for us. Johannes van Kan of Moda Fotografica has been a friend since 1993, when Heather and I first met him at NZIPP’s annual conference and awards judging.

Since then Johannes has qualified as a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers and was New Zealand Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2004 and 2005, and winner of the New Zealand Wedding Album of the Year Award in 2007 and 2008.

Johannes describes himself as a Queensberry partisan, and the feeling is mutual. We regularly use his images in our display albums, for good reason: they always attract admiring attention, and that’s always great for sales!

Johannes describes himself as a “photographer, poet and coffee tester”. He’s also a fan of good music and an exceptional album designer and Photoshop artist. We look forward to him sharing his secrets, skills and insights with us.

Cheers, Ian

PS Johannes isn’t the only winner in the family. He runs Moda Fotografica with his wife Jo Grams, originally from Queensland Australia, who is also an NZIPP Fellow and won Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2006.

    Here’s a wedding from the ends of the earth, where your albums come from. Louise and Tom were married before 250 guests at the First Church, Dunedin New Zealand, on 24th February 2007.

    The dress was made by Louise Anderson of Christchurch (no relation!) with fabric brought back by the bride from a shopping trip in Italy. With that exception the groom was an equal opportunity wedding planner.

    The wedding was photographed by New Zealand’s 2006 Wedding Photographer of the Year Jo Grams, of Moda Fotografica. It was an “exhausting” 12 hour shoot, with just one photographer, and ended at 11.30pm.

    Jo says she “loved photographing the wedding”. The couple chose a “generous” 15×12 black leather digital-paged album which was printed and bound at Queensberry. “I loved it so much I got one for the studio display.”

    The couple are expecting their first child at the end of June.
