It's been hard keeping this a secret, but finally we can announce the re-launch of Queensberry's handmade frames.  We took them along to NZIPP Infocus over the weekend and everyone just loved them, so we’re excited to share them with you all.  What's new: A fresh Italian moulding, seven colours, and thirteen sizes from A5 to 40x30 (that's big!), matted or un-matted. Multi-aperture mat templates too, plus sharp prices and no extra charge for shipping. Read on for details and to grab 20% off until August 1st using code FRAMERELAUNCH. Seven colours, To View More >>

To that old saying about the only certainties being death and taxes, we need to add CHANGE! Change never ends, and as long as you don’t mind a bit of a roller coaster, it’s way more fun! We have so much coming up over the next weeks and months, we thought we’d better give you a heads-up. If you like what we stand for, we think you’ll love what we’re doing. And what do we stand for? Beautiful photography, beautifully presented. But it’s your opinion that matters, so click through to comment on our blog or Facebook. We’d love to hear 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 >>

Yesterday I came across these beautiful invitations by Atelier Isabey. I wish I could touch them. I wish you could! Imagine our first sensory experience as babies - touch, taste, smell, sound, vision - how gradually they made the world real and meaningful... And how we realised that the world isn't just out there, that we can design it - make it beautiful - the origin of art, craft, home-making, cooking, gardening... based sometimes on our traditions, sometimes on our own creativity. I know some of us are more conscious of these things than others, but at least for the fortunate among us, finely 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 >>

Colour management is one of the cornerstones of digital photography, it is also one of the most misunderstood. Some photographers are experts, some try to ignore the subject, some don't seem to have heard of it, others have read about it on forums or blogs and (kind of) get it. Years ago when our lab went digital, we brought in the experts to help set up our systems and get the best results from our printers. This relationship was not a one-date wonder. Ian and Jessica from NZ Colour Management have consulted to us regularly ever since. One thing's certain. If you use our print-ready service you To View More >>

In many labs these days the only people who look at your prints are the Dispatch team. Strange as it seems, that makes sense – it's your files they’re printing, and something has to give if you want low prices. But it doesn’t make sense at Queensberry. We critique everything we print, including Print-Ready. The difference is we see the image files with Full Colour Service (because it’s our job to colour correct them) whereas we don’t see Print-Ready work until it’s printed . But why review Print-Ready work at all? Print-Ready means you edit your images yourself, and we don’t modify To View More >>

We've made a few changes to our copy album service, and it's all good news! • Flushmount copies are now available in 5-inch, 7-inch and a new 10-inch format, and for all our albums - Flushmount, Overlay Matted, Classic Matted, Duo and Musée. • Instead of only five in total, you can now order up to five of each size - a great way to grab a display sample for your venue partners, maybe? • Pricing is simplified and easier to understand - the base price is slightly higher but there's no charge for extra pages, flips etc. • And you can now order copies separately from the To View More >>

In case you missed it, you can now submit your albums (via Photojunction's Album Setup window) for featuring on our blog. We've had such a great response we're going to see if we can take it a step further… As well as featuring an album a week on the Queensberry Blog we're going to try for one per day on our I Own a Queensberry Facebook page (the first one has just gone up). Remember, before submitting your album design (, make sure you've got the right to use the images. And since we can’t cope with gazillions of submissions, please only click Yes when the album's REALLY hot. We’ll love To View More >>
