Today we are introducing our GORGEOUS Slimline Print Box! Thoughtfully designed to hold up to 50 6x4 or 7.5x5 prints — the perfect option for photographers who want to deliver smaller print collections in a way that feels elevated, and “oh so special”! They’re a simple, beautiful upsell for engagements, babies, proms, dance shoots, pets, families — so many shoots. And if you need a big stack of prints for a wedding, our print boxes can cope with up to 300 prints! What we LOVE about our boxes is that they tick ALL the boxes (haha) — Profit, Promotion and Positioning. To View More >>

Love matte printing and matted albums? If your answer's yes you'll love that our Smooth Matte stock is now available in the Overlay Matted range. We already offer a range of beautiful print options in Overlay Matted, including Silver Halide Lustre and Tintoretto, but we know Smooth Matte will be just as popular. Smooth Matte offers that desirable Fine Art look — but being offset printed it's more affordable and more durable than inkjet printing. (If you'd prefer a textured "water-colour" finish go with the ever-popular Tintoretto.) Smooth Matte is available right now through Workspace. To View More >>

We thought we should explain where we’re heading in terms of product development over the next few months. There'll be more to come for sure about other products, but this is it for albums. For now! And although we’re working on major updates, especially to our Flushmount and Studio ranges, regular customers will be pleased to know we’ll be tidying up a few anomalies and aggravations in our systems and resources as we go. Please treat what follows as a road map, not a timetable. We’ll make further announcements as things are released. And of course, there’ll To View More >>

Continuing on from Katherine’s first post, 'Why Albums?', Katherine has a few more tips about how she educates her clients about printing, and some advice for photographers who might just be starting to offer albums in their packages. How do you educate your clients about the importance of printing, rather than leaving photographs on a USB? An album really is a personal preference, so I try not to push them on my clients, but now I have over 50% of my couples order albums, I love to know they will treasure these for 30, 40 maybe even 50 years! I talk about and share my albums as To View More >>

It's that time of year again! Time to spend with family and friends, take stock of the year been, and look forward to the year ahead. With that in mind, you'll be wanting to know how to ensure your clients receive their albums by December. To keep stress levels low, we recommend sticking to the timeline outlined below. So here goes... We close at 3.30pm on Friday 22nd December 2017. We re-open at 8am Monday 8th January 2018.  We're opening earlier than usual in 2018 to allow enough time for sample orders for February trade shows.

Just a quick reminder that this weekend is our cut-off date to guarantee you receive your album orders before our end-of-year closedown. Don’t worry too much if you think you might miss the deadline by a day or two, but do get your order in as soon as possible! We’ll be working really hard to get everything out before the holidays — even orders placed in late November/early December. And unlike our competitors we don’t charge rush fees. The advantage of ordering earlier is that you get to the top of the queue and we have more time to make sure everything's correct and to To View More >>

Written by: Kate Hopewell-Smith Come summertime you can’t open a newspaper or magazine without articles about getting your body ‘beach ready’. Many women are secretly terrified at the prospect of getting into swimwear publicly, because whilst very few people actually suffer from body dysmorphia (the belief that one's appearance is unusually defective) most women have body issues. The truth is that I deal with this reality on a regular basis because I shoot a lot of boudoir photography. Last week I put a few pictures on Facebook from a shoot that both I, and the lady To View More >>

Kate Hopewell-Smith believes that the more confident you are, the better photographer you'll become. But she worries about the lack of confidence in our industry, and wonders how many photographers are considering whether to carry on or not… From my experience meeting and communicating with lots of photographers there is a serious problem out there with lack of confidence, which for some can become quite debilitating. In fact I describe it as an “epidemic” –extremely prevalent, widespread. I read a lot of photography magazines but I can’t recall ever To View More >>

Well,  Saturday the 21st June is the shortest day down under … or as we call it, Mid-Winter Christmas. Our friends up north are cranking up for the wedding season (busy busy busy), while in our part of the world people tend to be wrapping up one season, thinking about the next. But I’ve been thinking how we can save you TIME and MONEY :) First... Time! Wedding photographers get so busy with post-production, and yet we can help with that and it won’t cost a penny. I’m talking about our FREE ALBUM DESIGN AND COLOUR CORRECTION service. More than half our customers are To View More >>
