Here's a beautiful press book of a collection of landscapes and seascapes on the West Coast of Scotland, photographed by Simon Mark Whitten of Firehorse Photography. Simon say's "the images were a few snaps that I took (mainly with a compact camera) on holiday recently for a few days with my family!" Those 'few snaps' look absoloutely stunning in black and white, printed on Queensberry's Pearl Metallic paper stock. Take a look at a few layouts. To see more of Simon's work, click here. Enjoy!

To continue my rave on The Junction earlier in the year about image slicing and dicing, here are a few thoughts about designing a pressbook with particular consideration to keeping your mind (and your clients' heads) out of the gutter! Photojunction makes designing a Queensberry album very easy and FAST. But while the layouts look very similar on-screen between albums and press books - in reality these two products are vastly different. When you're working on screen it's really easy to forget that a press book is, well, a book, and the pages don't lie flat. Queensberry press books (like most other To View More >>

Like the Chinese gentleman who shared our table for Dim Sum at Aik Hoe, everyone in Penang seems to get by in at least three languages – Chinese, Malay and English. I do admire that in a person because, like most New Zealanders, I'm a monoglot. That wasn't the only reason I liked him, though. He was his own man. At 87, so he should be. Share each dish, he told us, you'll eat less and taste more. Start the day at five. Oatmeal for breakfast keeps you young – I've eaten it almost every day for fifty years. No cream or sugar. Work in your business every day [he has an electrical business with To View More >>

Poppy & Will's wedding took place over 3 days at the family's home in the south of France. They were photographed by Jo de Banzie and James Yeats-Brown. Here's how Jo describes the wedding day and how they ended up doing something a little different! "The weather was unbearably hot, and the idea of the swim occurred to us during the evening. Poppy is one feisty girl, a qualified doctor and champion canoe polo player. She'd already climbed a tree for us, so we were pretty sure she'd be up for it! However, she was dressed in couture, and as the designer was present as a guest, we thought we To View More >>

Heather and I have been in Penang for a few days, "recharging our creative juices". But what does that mean? Creativity is like happiness. You can't reach out and grab it directly, although we do believe that getting out of your comfort zone (I couldn't think of another cliché, sorry) – and sleeping a lot – both help. We're staying in old George Town. It was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 2008, as the locals are proud to tell us. They're also proud that Jimmy Choo was born into a family of local shoemakers, and apprenticed to a little shop just a few metres from where we're staying To View More >>

Nikki and Rich had a wedding style that reflected their personalities perfectly. Vintage inspired wedding dress shop owner Nikki, wore one of her beautiful dresses with her favorite bright pink shoes. Rich looked cool, and more like a rockstar come gangstar than a groom says their photographer Caroline White. "The art deco boutique hotel venue in the centre of town meant we could go for a walk in the streets. As we were walking, two guys driving the most amazing bright red car, like something out of a movie (it turns out it actually was!) drove past. I was so excited, I said "wow that's amazing, To View More >>
