Johannes's not bothered by our branding - Ed. We have made it an important part of our branding effort to be associated with the right suppliers ... by association we maintain and even improve our credibility. We emphasise why we use Queensberry  albums when we talk to people, and are able to prove it in the presence of their (Queensberry's) branding. One difference between our Queensberry album and our neighbour's one is that we also brand it with our company logo. This is unique to us. We also apply our own creative processes to the imagery. We have a Moda Fotografica look that is completed To View More >>

Man about town Jerry Ghionis is a great supporter of Photojunction and spreads the word through his various speaking engagements. 1) What sort of feedback do you hear about Photojunction? After many years of not doing my own album plans, I have now gone back to designing my albums again.  Since I now run a boutique studio, my involvement in the pre-production and album design process is very important.  Not being a technically minded person naturally, I downloaded the trial version of Photojunction and pretty much learned how to use it in about 10 minutes.  What I noticed immediately about it To View More >>

Some time ago a client came to us seeking advice on his newly drafted wedding pricing and packages for a brochure. We did a bit of work on it which basically resulted in simplifying. We cut the word count in half, more tightly defined his packages to adhere to the good, better, best principle, helped him decide on the best way to charge for albums, and tightened up the language. Later we received this email from him: A few months ago you were kind enough to help me as I prepared my wedding documentation and pricing. I've shot two weddings since then - one using my document before you edited it To View More >>

It's that time of year when we take stock, make resolutions and ask questions ... like how can we make this year a winner? Are there too many photographers? Why do we ask our competitors for advice? What can we learn from musicians? And the big one: How much are our images worth? Sadly, that's not just about how good they are or how much time we spend on them in post-production. Our latest client newsletter is below. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment here or emailing Ian directly. Cheers, Nigel How much are your images worth? We received this present from our design consultants, Alt To View More >>

We came across this swag of albums via a link that Aussie Jonathan Dear of Vibrant Photography left of on our Facebook page. He's had a lot of albums arrive lately and decided it was about time he started to photograph and blog them... We agree because there's nothing quite like seeing the real product. Here's a taste of what Jonathan and his team have been up to. More images and details on Jonathon's blog. Cheers, Nigel To View More >>

Like many good things Musée begins with a story. In fact it begins with three stories, and the real magic is how they weave together... The first begins several years ago with a traveller on a bus in Spain, who strikes up a conversation with the woman sitting next to him. They like each other enough to introduce themselves. He's a wedding photographer from the far side of the world, in Spain on a scholarship. She's a paper conservator living in England, home to visit her family in Barcelona - and as it turns out, later, in love. The photographer and the conservator like each other enough to swap To View More >>

Well we capped off a successful trade show in Las Vegas by going to the WPPI awards to see Johannes van Kan win the wedding album competition (for a single photographer). Johannes was at home in New Zealand with his lovely wife Jo and "Hurricane Ida", so Heather grabbed the trophy for him and I took this photo on my iPhone. Everyone loved Johannes' imagery and we had a constant stream to the Queensberry stand to check it out (lots of people recognised the Musée album he displayed it in). Thanks a million to everyone who came to see us. The team caught up with a heap of old friends and made lots To View More >>

When albums are delivered to photographer Larry McMahon, they get collected just as quickly, and are gone. Forever... And when that happens he always asks himself , "Why didn't I photograph it before it left?" So when Abbie and Enda's album arrived, he did. Which is great because we all get to share! Here's a few quick shots he took. Click. Click. Done. Run (me)... Easy he says. To check out more of Larry's work click here. Cheers, Nigel To View More >>

Christine and Ben chose Ahwahnee Hotel in the Yosemite National Park, California as the perfect setting for their engagement shoot with photographer Michael Soo. When their engagement and guest albums arrived at Michael's doorstep, he took a few quick snaps and emailed them to the couple. They replied within minutes saying, "We're on our way!" Here are Christine and Ben's two albums, designed and photographed by Michael... To check out more of Michael Soo's work visit his blog here. Cheers, Nigel To View More >>

Sometimes we have trouble persuading people that Photojunction displays images in overlay albums exactly as they will appear in the album. They think what you see on screen includes the area of the print that will get lost under the mat. That may be because other programs "grey out" the area that will be hidden (we do the same with photo front covers, but nowhere else). Photojunction hides it completely because we want to show you what the album will look like - no distractions! Anyway what you on screen is exactly what you'll see in the album. Take a look at the image panel of the tools window. To View More >>
