There's a framed photo of Heather and me that's thirty years old now and been on the wall above my desk for the last fourteen. It was shot by Rod Ellmore in 1994 while our whole family was together in Auckland. When I look at it I think: “Didn’t we look cute thirty years ago? And I had hair! Remember how those Lockwood houses creaked? The bloody dog ruined that couch… Love the Indian parchment — still on the wall… What happened to those Churchill books? The printing is like new… Those shoes were great…” In another thirty years our grandchildren To View More >>

In my short life I've listened to music played on 7″ and 12″ vinyl records, reel-to-reel tapes, 4-track tapes, 8-track tapes, compact cassettes, CDs, digital audio tapes, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, streaming-music services, and many digital audio formats. With each media came a new player, destined to become outdated and therefore inaccessible. There are lessons in that for photographers… A personal story about media loss, and the pain it causes Earlier this year my wife and I emptied the house where she grew up. We found her childhood box of nearly perfect 45 rpm To View More >>

Online galleries are a great way to display your portfolio, but printed portfolios have way more impact . And here's something different again – a "portfolio album". Such an impressive calling card! This particular portfolio is a 10x10 Panorama Flushmount with Fine Art printing — a high-end choice. Panoramas are perfect for big, bold imagery. You can spread a single photograph across a double page spread for major impact — creased, not cut, at the spine.  Q-Books (medium and light) are affordable alternatives. Portrait Albums are To View More >>

Is this the ideal way to present your portrait photography? Your clients will love our hand made boxes, designed to keep their favourite images looking their beautiful best for years to come. They’re designed to be enjoyed too — whether for sharing with friends and family, or for quiet reflection in an overloaded world. And of course they’re a great silent salesman for you. Our Q boxes can hold up to 25 prints in 10x8 or 14x11 mats (25x20 or 45x28cm). The feature you may like best? We do the work, not you! Just upload your images and in two weeks we’ll deliver To View More >>

The presentation box our albums come in has a long history. Developed for us in 1995 by leading designer Donna Hoyle, it combines two graphic elements: a 17th Century Italian text, and a series of leaf and heraldic devices including our own Cherub. It doesn’t even bear our name, but to us, and our customers, it’s a key part of our identity, like Tiffany’s Blue Box… but maybe not as famous! The Box even survived a total rebranding in 2008, when we couldn’t bear to part with it. It was another seven years before we refreshed the design, and even then we built on the To View More >>

Be bold, make a statement, choose a Panorama Flushmount. Just over a year ago we released our Panorama Flushmount albums. With pages creased at the spine, not cut.  Seamless, and perfect for bold and beautiful Imagery. But not only can you design stunning, uninterrupted panoramic layouts, you can add more pages as well. Simply select our medium- rather than heavy-weight option. Our new medium panoramic albums take up to 45 pages in total (90 sides) whereas with traditional heavy-weight pages the limit is 30 (60 sides).  Panorama albums have raced away to To View More >>

Our support team deals with photographers all day, every day. We know how people struggle with technology. And we think the software that professionals use can be part of the problem… making things worse, not better. How does this make sense? - Hosting your images with one provider, but your website somewhere else. Creating customer websites with a third provider, and mobile apps with a fourth. Designing albums with a fifth, and proofing them with a sixth. Branding your blog images with a seventh, but actually blogging somewhere else again! Each time there's another piece of software to 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 >>
