We love it when one of our staff members gets an album made for themselves. We spend most of our time creating handmade products for photographers, but we like to walk the talk when it comes to printing our photos. Maddy works in the Queensberry bindery and she's let us share her Portrait Album with you. Take a look. "I made my own scrapbook style photo albums when I was younger and printed photos to frame. This is the second Queensberry album I've made. "I wanted to make a gift for my partner, Simba, to celebrate the adventures we’ve had together so far, including a To View More >>

Albums are a blank canvas on which to express your personal style and taste, and we love seeing the variety that comes through the Bindery. This week's album caught our attention with its brightly coloured graffiti backgrounds and interesting design. When we asked Daniel if we could feature it, he shared with us the humorous, heartwarming story of how the couple first met – as told by them, from both sides. Talk about a meet-cute! It reminded us of something important — "It's not about the album, it's about the photography." … But dig deeper and it's To View More >>

How do you design a Queensberry album? Well, we can design it for you, or you can do it yourself using third party software like Fundy or SmartAlbums, our desktop application Photojunction, or the Workspace Album Designer. But — let's be frank — until now the Workspace design feature has been just a little underpowered! We've been working hard to change that, however, and we reckon Workspace Album Designer is turning into a powerful and intuitive program that for many people could just be their best choice.

You’ve asked and we’ve answered. Here's our new sub-navigation feature, with no hand-coding necessary! Sub-navigation is ideal for photographers who have many web pages or want to have several pages under one heading (eg sub-categories in your portfolio). By dragging and dropping pages onto “Parent Menu Items”, you can create dropdown menus in minutes. There are many advantages to this feature. It allows users to find what they’re looking for quickly and easily, without over-populating your navigation with links. Watch below to see how easy To View More >>

We caught up with two of the design team, Simon and Rachel, to talk all things album design. Here are their top four tips for creating beautiful, clean layouts. Less is more Rachel: Unclutter your design. It’s simple. Let the key images and high quality materials of an album speak for themselves. If you notice the design, it’s taking precedence over the images – good design is effortless. Simon: If the design is loaded with images the hero shots can be lost among a forest of images. By keeping the image selection minimal, you’ll free up space and make the rest To View More >>

We always have a lovely selection of Q frames leaving dispatch, so I thought it was about time to share one! This beautiful Q Pro Frame is of sisters Tamsin and Georgie. Their dad Paul bought a gift voucher for their Portrait shoot with Borrowed Light Photography to surprise their mum Anna for mother’s day last year. The 9 aperture grid is a popular mat choice - perfect for displaying a selection of candid shots. This frame is a 14x14 Q Pro Box Frame. Queensberry Pro frames are high quality frames designed to look good and last. For more information on Q Frames click To View More >>

If you're flying in to shoot a wedding and the weather's so foul the plane mightn't be able to land, you have every wedding photographer's nightmare. And to say the weather was foul would be an understatement... But the plane did land and Johannes (of Moda Fotografica) had already covered the other bases before heading out to shoot Vicky and Ricky's wedding at French Farm in the South Island of New Zealand. With heavy rain forecast and weather warnings in place, Johannes discussed with the couple what would happen if the weather didn't play nice. He walked them through how it might effect what To View More >>
I was working with a client last evening sorting out their album design, and yet again marveling at PJ Remix. We were looking at what we might do with their design to take it away from the ordinary. The expression Pimp My Album came to mind ... and things went crazy! There were tassels, dice, bling, and all sorts of flame shaped graphics ... quickly recognised as possibly on the absurd side of album creativity. It did get me thinking how I might accessorise my beautiful classic album. I thought I would start a list! The obvious beginning is a case ... there are two available (three if you include To View More >>

Everyone has a story to tell, and for decades our business has been about crafting those stories into beautiful albums to remember forever. But the way we do so has been changing dramatically. Earlier this year we released Musée “for people who want only the best” – beautiful photography, discerning design and the best materials in a product that requires the highest level of artisanship to produce. Our latest project takes us into another world again. Instead of traditional photographic printing, the Queensberry Press uses digital offset technology to create – not beautiful albums, but To View More >>
