Here are five reasons why we reckon you should give Queensberry Photo Books a try 1. Quality and presentation matter The fact we've worked hard to make Photo Books more affordable doesn't mean they're lower quality. They're built to the same standard as our albums — the same cover construction, the same cover materials, the same quality control and attention to detail. Presentation is important too. Our Photo Books are presented in a our grey suede bag. We deliver freight-free to you, or directly to your clients.  2.   More pages Photo Books come with up to 80 lightweight To View More >>

It's quick and easy to order albums from Queensberry, through Workspace. It's a step-by-step process that guides you through each set of options as you personalise your album. Just as important, it helps you avoid "gotchas", where you have your mind set on something we can't do, like emboss Vanilla Bean Micro Leather or Linen. In fact, for that reason alone we recommend that you set up the album before you get involved in page design … and certainly before you offer your customer something we can't do! These gotchas (exceptions) can be frustrating, and we don't like them 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 >>

We saw this gorgeous album as it went through our bindery, featuring an Elopement by Jamie from Jamie Bott Photography , UK. Jamie told us all about Emily and James' special day. We hope they love their album as much as we do. "I first met Emily and James several years ago when they were both working front of house for a catering company that serviced a venue I often photographed at. They were both always so bubbly and full of life – I remember thinking if they ever got married how I’d love to be their wedding photographer. "Fast forward a few years and I received To View More >>

We spoke with Californian photographer and mentor, Glenn Lee Robinson, about what makes a good mentor, how mentors have helped him, and what advice he’d give to those seeking one. Glenn began taking photographs in 2010, when his friend gave him a canon DSLR. He quickly fell in love with the hobby and soon turned professional, photographing graduations, portraits and weddings. In 2015, he discovered the exhilaration and satisfaction of capturing outdoor landscapes. Now, his Hike & Shoot initiative focuses all his energy. Glenn puts his success down to being interested and resourceful, To View More >>

As told to Cate Scaglione - Life As Fine Art “There is a space between imagination… and attainment…that may only be traversed by… longing.” ― Khalil Gibran, Sand and Foam The story of Cindy Harter Sims is about more than going from part-time hobbyist to full time award-winning photographer. Cindy’s is a tale about longing for all that life has to offer. Photography just happened to be her way of finding it. There is something about an image by Cindy Harter Sims. It’s an inexplicable surge of emotions that make you feel as if you’re To View More >>

We love seeing our clients coming up with innovative new marketing ideas. Andy Donnan received his new Queensberry Starter Kit and tweeted about an idea he had to show his out-of-town clients... And we asked him if we could share. Many of his clients won't get the opportunity to see or touch his albums, so he wanted to give them an up close and personal album viewing experience, but which they could have from anywhere in the world. I won't say too much more except check out how Andy introduces his Queensberry album offerings here (click on the image to play). Cheers, Nigel To View More >>

It's hard to shake off a reputation for being cheap too. The question is, which reputation do you prefer? Our people get frustrated when they hear, "Oh you guys are so expensive…" In fact this week they ran an email saying, "That's not right!" Their point is we have six different product ranges, six very different price points, and most people are genuinely surprised by what we can offer. My point is that cheap doesn't To View More >>
