Panic attacks — we all have them “My bookings are down.” “I’ve gotta cut my prices.” “I’ve gotta slash my costs.” We all have anxiety attacks, so maybe this chapter’s for you. Anxiety is worrying in advance, worrying without a plan, psychological rather than rational. And the actions you take while you’ve got the cold sweats could affect your business for a long, long To View More >>

Tom and Lizzie Redman of Little Blossom Tree Photography love to photograph families, and chose this Q-Book Light as a studio sample. "Up until recently, Tom and I have done a few family shoots on the side of our wedding photography business - Tom and Lizzie Redman Photography. We absolutely love to take photos of family. We believe in family, and we believe it should be cherished, and memories of it held on to, so just recently we launched a family photography business called Little Blossom Tree. "We love natural, candid images, and so we only shoot outside and only use natural To View More >>

Everything we do is about adding value to your photography … to help sell your art, your craft, your intellectual property, your time! Matting a work of art is a powerful, longstanding way to add to its worth, and we offer matting in several products — like albums, frames and boxes. But we also offer “loose” matted prints, and new customers are sometimes surprised to find they’re just as beautifully presented. We supply them with an embossed cover sheet to protect the mat and print … and make the treasure inside more special. The embossed Q device is important To View More >>

Their 2015 WPPI Masterclass, sponsored by Queensberry, is about the tremendous impact that selling albums can have on your bottom line. We’re running a survey to support them with up-to-the-minute data about how well photographers are doing with album sales, and what’s standing in the way of them doing even better.

The first time I truly understand the power behind a brand name… I'm pulled over in Customs to be searched (I've obviously forgotten to take my nail file out of my make-up bag again – It happens far too often!) I open my bag and they start their search. The security guy is rummaging around my bag and unpacking it, naming everything as it came out, "Make up bag… novel… album…" So I stop him right there. "How do you know it's an album?" (It's in a Queensberry box.) "Oh," he said, "we see these boxes coming through all the time, we just To View More >>

Located off the shores of Puerto Vallarta Mexico, lies an exclusive private island that happened to be the perfect spot for Chloe and Nate's memorable rehearsal dinner. The talented Justine Ungaro, based in California USA, was there to capture their Mexican extravaganza. Chloe and Nate's wedding followed suit the day after. Both events have been beautifully presented in Queensberry albums. This album is a real gem, and I think you'll agree! A translucent title page is that little extra that makes the album unique and personal. Our Duo albums are dynamic and distinctive. Duo To View More >>

Made By Hand from Queensberry on Vimeo. Want to see what goes into making a Queensberry? We commissioned this brief movie as a way to say thank you to all the terrific people who make our albums … and who make us so proud. Johannes shot the images as he and I walked through the Queensberry Lab and Bindery one afternoon. The photography is all real and unstaged. Johannes created the video and set it to music by Amy Seeley, who has a lot of new fans. Thanks again to everyone involved, including the host of Queensberry photographers whose work you can glimpse along the way. Cheers, Ian PS If you To View More >>

It used to be that people would ask me if I used film or digital, generally because they'd heard a horror story. I would show them an album and ask them firstly if they liked the quality of the images, and then what they thought it was shot with. Most guessed wrong and said "film". Back then my using digital could have undermined my perceived value. But what if your choice of suppliers added perceived value to your service? What if you had brides asking about your suppliers? If a client sought you out because you used Queensberry would you be offended? If you don’t tell your clients why your To View More >>

I wrote this post two years ago and for some reason never published it, but I think it makes some good points about simplicity and not confusing price and payoff. See what you think... We had an interesting email from a client who also deals with a certain other album company (shame on him – LOL). This company makes a big deal about simplicity … and quite right too. Anyway, he asked them if they'd consider introducing some - gulp - options, and to his frustration they said No. Now to be fair, over the years we've got better at saying No to things that compromise either the integrity of our To View More >>
