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 >>

We don't know many people who know their way around Photojunction better than Chip Gillespie. Especially when it comes to shortcuts. We call him a Power User. (He's also the founder of Blogstomp, which is well worth checking out.) 1) You're a PJ power user – how long have you been using Photojunction and what attracted you to it in the first place? I have been using PhotoJunction for a little over a year. To be truthful, I was skeptical at first as I had what I believed to be a near-perfect album design process using Photoshop. On the recommendation of a friend and fellow photographer/designer, To View More >>

The New York Times caused a ruckus a couple of days ago with an article pointing out the negative impact on professional photographers of a number of trends: the decline of the print media and therefore print advertising; the rise of digital imaging, stock photography and photo sharing sites; the flow-on opportunities for pro-am enthusiasts who don't face the same commercial imperatives. Christian Oth runs an upscale Manhattan studio. Here's his response - Ed. The New York Times posted an article about how photography is on a shrinking path. It is an interesting assessment of the state of assignment To View More >>

Our dear friend, Ian. Most of you haven't met him, but there's a good chance he's saved your bacon once or twice. Ian Cameron has been a crucial member of the Photojunction team, and is leaving us to head back down-the-line to his home town. The trend in the tech industry is to skip jobs every 18 months or so looking for the new best thing, but that hasn't been the case for us and certainly not for Ian. Ian has been with us for 6 years, I hazard a guess he's answered over 40,000 emails and 12,000 phone calls! This doesn't include tireless work on resources, bug busting, and in the ol' days, CD To View More >>

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. To View More >>
