We got a call from the Bindery team, who were blown away by Erin from Acorn Photography's new sample album. After seeing it ourselves we knew we had to ask Erin if we could share it... "Chelsea and Kirk tied the knot with a beach wedding in Thailand,"   says Erin. "The day was filled with partying under palm trees, and dining on the beach. And at the end of the night everyone, still dressed in their finery, spontaneously jumped into the pool." “The next day we were inspired to try it again and embraced the ‘drown the gown’ movement. Chelsea looked ethereal in her 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 >>

As told to Cate Scaglione In the photography world they’re sometimes referred to as the Texas Royalty for their dramatic aesthetic, their long-term success and their A List clientele … but spend five minutes with David and Luke Edmonson and you’ll discover they are anything but elitist. I was fortunate enough to spend time with Luke, who generously revealed the Edmonson sales ethos. With over $100k in album sales alone, their rather emotionally charged sales approach might come as a surprise, often counterintuitive to our industry’s professed sales strategies. To View More >>

A beautiful memento of four very loved huskies! Laurel and Kevin from Brisbane, Australia are totally devoted to their dogs and regularly participate in sledding. Just a couple of weeks after this photo session in the Glass House Mountains, their beloved brown eyed girl Kiah passed away. Charlotte, from Charlotte Reeves Photography, specialises in pet photography. She says, "I am so glad they have this beautiful album of their special girl and the bond she had with her doggy brother and sisters.” A lovely translucent page at the beginning of their 12x12 Flushmount album.

As told to Cate Scaglione - Life As Fine Art Thanks to the digital revolution our culture is by far the most photographed generation in history. Without planning or purpose, people now take pictures simply to share them on a global scale. Sociologists are enjoying a field day over the reasons why, but certainly with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr we have so many ways to broadcast intimate moments with family, friends, pets and our last meal. Which means professional photography is becoming less relevant and less profitable, right? Or is it? The anti-selfie When a client hires a highly To View More >>

A few clients have told us that they prefer to export their own printing files (page layouts) in Photojunction, but the "Export" button seems to have disappeared. So what have we done with it? Whether the Export button appears or not is dependent on whether you or we (Queensberry) are to do the exporting, and that depends on the option you choose in the Service dropdown menu during album set up. Looking at the screenshot, if you choose Print and Assemble you'll need to do the export - ie create the PSD layouts and, if need be, edit the files before you upload them to us. If you chose Export, Print To View More >>

The city of San Francisco was the backdrop for Judy and Andrew’s urban wedding. From the bow-ties to the jazz band, their wedding gave a few nods to the Roaring Twenties. Their wedding and reception was held at City Club of San Francisco in San Francisco, California. Duy Ho Photography was their photographer of the day who is based in San Francisco. The flower arrangements and bouquets by Amy Burke Designs are so sweet and delicate. Click on the image for a closer look. Duy Ho has designed this album with the use of asymmetric layouts and lovely full-bleed images. The rooftop portraits To View More >>
