Here's a look at what goes on in the Queensberry printery — prints, album layouts and canvases being created under the expert eyes of our technicians. Quality is paramount to us. Queensberry print makers Chris and Alex chat about some of our print options, and their own hands-on, eyes-on approach. Printing your photographs is a hands-on process at Queensberry, and we're sticklers for detail — every step is subject to strict scrutiny, and monitored closely from start to finish. But preparing your files properly is just as important to getting To View More >>

This is the first of a series of articles about enhancing data privacy and controls in Workspace, especially in relation to GDPR. Our online galleries in Workspace may ask your clients to register for three reasons: when you've opted to require visitors to log in or register before they can view a gallery; when they select their favourite images in a gallery; or when they make a purchase in the shopping cart. Why the data is collected: Visitor names and emails may be required to fulfil shopping cart transactions, so you can use their favourites in possible future To View More >>

It's been a few months since we partnered with Lola Photography to support Aqua Frizzante, an exhibition celebrating a love of water, movement, texture and light. We loved it so much, we turned it into a Flushmount Album! This is a 10x10 Flushmount Album, with Tintoretto printing and a Midnight, Distressed Faux Leather cover. Flushmounts are simple and affordable, and ideal for portfolios and short-run photobooks. Contact us about your custom project ideas.

Sonja Gardien's Studio 541 has taken on the Auckland art scene, showcasing both emerging and established photographers. We took some time out to chat about what it takes to run a gallery space, and what photographers need to know before they submit their work. Sonja wanted to create a space for photographers to exhibit, learn, meet and be inspired. “It’s important to identify a niche," she says. "There are a lot of galleries around. You need to be different. It seemed logical to utilise Studio 541, not only for a gallery, but also as a space to attend workshops and To View More >>

Valentine's Day is upon us, and what better way to mark the day than to ponder the wonder of love. Charlotte Christian, wedding photographer and self professed enthusiast of all things love, talked to us about celebrating personal stories of love through photography. Love is something we should celebrate every day, she says. "Sometimes in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to dwell on what we have in life, and all the different kinds of love that we receive. I think when we take the time to celebrate and appreciate people who give us love, it flourishes and then in turn, spreads to those To View More >>

This post on Cam Grove’s Instagram made our day, and we so agree that first impressions are lasting impressions. I once read an article in PDN about photographer's studios, and this one photographer was explaining how he had dropped thousands of dollars on buying this particular handle for his front door. He reasoned that the first physical contact that prospective clients had with him and his business was when they opened the door to his studio. He wanted that initial touch to immediately convey all the things intrinsic to his business; strength, substance, craftsmanship... It's a story To View More >>

If you want people to come looking for what’s desirable, not what’s cheapest, build your studio on high-end values. I recently visited an Audi dealership, not to buy a new car, but to learn how Audi sell their beautiful vehicles. Predictably I left desiring something I'd never considered before, and sold on Audi. My intention was to test drive the Audi Q5, but the salesperson suggested that the Q7 might be more comfortable for my height, so out in a Q7 we went. But not just any Q7, a Q7 Premium Plus with sport options! It was more amazing than I can describe … To View More >>

We designed, printed and bound a number of special edition Q-Books for AIBP (Association of International Boudoir Photographers). The books feature a collection of beautiful photographs that were part of the “2014 Best of AIBP Image Competition”. (We were 'oohing' and 'ahhing' throughout the entire product shoot). AIBP seeks to unite professional boudoir photographers globally, to share in common interests from the beauty, art, technique and business aspects of the industry. AIBP has members on six continents, and believes in recognizing amazing talent, which To View More >>
