One Year of PrimaBook!

The launch of PrimaBook last year, exactly the same time as the lockdowns started, was a way to keep us going. This little book helped a lot of photographers generate some income during a time when in-person events were being cancelled left and right. We never expected PrimaBook to be a big part of our product line, but it turned out to be a super popular item and we’re so glad to know that it helped so many this past year.

It turned out to be the perfect fit for portraits, newborn, child & family photography, boudoir, pet and even Holiday sessions - it’s a book that every client can afford. For some photographers this was the first album that they have ever offered to clients and we couldn’t be happier they chose QT to print their work.

PrimaBook began as just the book itself, in 3 sizes. Now, you can elevate that and create an amazing matched-set with the addition of a matching wood & fabric box. We’ve also added a number of embossing stamps to add to your choice of fabric.

Last month we partnered with Fundy Software to introduce AlbumWorks: a free album design tool for QT customers which allows you to design your PrimaBook. Again, it’s completely free to use - we cover the license fee for you when you access via our special portal. For PrimaBooks, just remember to set-up your project so you exclude designs that where images cross the center line, and start with at least 20 pages (10 spreads) as this is the minimum required for PrimaBook.

Destination Lovers

“WE ARE MORE POWERFUL WHEN WE EMPOWER EACH OTHER”

In today’s Blog Post we want to introduce you to

Vanessa and Sarah from Destination Lovers!

Destination Lovers is a community of female photographers, creatives and travellers. The main goal is to network, encourage and empower each other. Vanessa and Sarah are organising online workshops and QtAlbums is happy to be supplying album samples!

Check out their website, sign for the newsletter and learn more about their workshops!

As QtAlbums we always support and empower women to be creative and supportive of each other.

Vanessa and Sarah were looking for a partner in the field of album printing who “stands out from the rest of the competition and is something special. That's how they came across QtAlbums. Needless to say - Vanessa & Sarah - you came to the right place!

Vanessa & Sarah especially love the Journal Artbook and the Deckled Edge Prints. We happily provided them with samples of those amazing products. Thank you for choosing QTAlbums as your partner!

“WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT OUT ON AN ADVENTURE? AN ADVENTURE YOU CAN BE PROUD OF BECAUSE YOU HAVE OVERCOME FEARS. AN ADVENTURE THAT FILLED YOUR BELLY WITH A HUGE BLAST OF HAPPINESS: WE DID IT RIGHT NOW: HELLO DESTINATION LOVERS!”



Make More Money in 2021 - You Deserve It.

2020 is finally over and it’s safe to say we could all use a fresh start. Whether you’re creating a sample for the first time or just want to freshen up your existing displays, now is the time to do it. If you haven’t quite figured out what you might need, we’ve compiled a few tips to help get you started.

Check out our NEW YEAR SAMPLE OFFER - get a free* studio sample!

Provide albums for different budgets

Not all of your clients will want to spend a lot on an album, but some may want to go all the way and choose the highest-end option. Be prepared to meet their expectations and direct the majority of your clients to your middle option that you’ve set to be your sweet-spot by offering 2-3 options. If you think of a small/medium/large scenario, you might look at the PrimaBook or BloomBook as your starter option. These albums are very affordable because they are streamlined for simplicity meaning you also won’t have to invest much time into customisations. For your standard album option, most opt for the Classic AriaBook or Matte Paper ArtBook which, in addition to a wide range of sizes and cover materials to fit your needs, also include personalisations such as embossing or a cameo image to make the album feel special. Now, for your top option, you could explore using a combination of larger size, more pages, and/or more customisations such as a custom stamp or UV ink to make their album totally unique. Or, you can go above and beyond to offer something totally different like museum-quality cotton rag paper with optional hand-torn edges available in our Cotton Rag ArtBook or Journal ArtBook.

Show what you love - it’s easier to sell it that way!

When you decide to offer albums and other printed products to your clients, you are essentially becoming a salesperson, and this requires some skill. You need to have knowledge about your product offerings and most importantly, you need to love the products yourself. Think about how much easier the words come when you are talking about something you love or are passionate about. Get passionate about your products! You will exude natural confidence which is very important when your clients are looking to you to be the expert and guide them in their purchase decisions.

Take beautiful photos of your products!

When you receive your studio sample albums - and client orders as well - the best thing that you can do is to take beautiful photos that you can use on your website, and most importantly on your social media. Create a webpage dedicated to albums and give your clients all the information they need to make their choice. Regularly prepare some Instagram posts and stories to keep reminding your followers that you offer albums and to plant the seed to new prospects that this is a normal part of what they can expect from you. You can always use the tools that we have prepared for you in our sales kit like stock photos of our products.

Meet with clients to let them experience the printed photography!

Times have changed, and we don’t know when we will be freely able to meet again. Face to face meetings are the best for being able to touch and feel, but we need to work with what we have, and being able to see the samples with your eyes is better than not at all. Online meetings can also be successful and you can still showcase your albums, plant the seeds early and make the sale.

Don’t worry if you can’t make the studio sample order now and avail of the NEW YEAR SAMPLE OFFER. Our regular studio samples are always discounted by 50% so you can order any time.

Newborn Photographers love PrimaBook

PrimaBook with PrimaBox

If you’re a family or newborn photographer who’s been looking for a great & affordable album that you can offer to your clients, look no further - QTAlbums’ PrimaBook is an excellent choice! Our Blue Poppy & Magnolia cover colours are be perfect for Baby Albums - light blue & pink.

You can complete your PrimaBook order with a matching wood & fabric box. The set is available in three sizes - 8x8”, 10x10” or 12x12”. On top of that, you can add a stamp like “Little Cutie”, “Love” or an adorable little heart symbol - just perfect!

PrimaBook comes in 10 colours, and the fabric is called Flores - it’s very smooth and soft to touch. We hope our little gallery will ignite a spark and that you will order a sample to show your clients (discounted samples are available Jan-Oct).

You can also check out our new section - Find Your Product - for more family photography / newborn photography product inspiration.

Documentary photography in Heirloom Album

“If you want to be a photographer, first leave home”

This quote by Steve McCurry, famous American photographer & photojournalist, has inspired us to make an album, which is a collection of our ambassador travel photos. This 12x12'“ Heirloom Album, filled with Jide Alakija images is a beautiful magazine style piece, where every single photo gets a proper exposition. One photo - one page layout.

IMG_8854.jpg

The paper used in Heirloom is Digital Satin. This type of book is a bit different than ArtBooks or AriaBooks, because it doesn't open flat and starts with a right hand side page rather than a full spread. You should consider this book to be perfect for one image per side designs and lots of pages - so we highly recommend it for Documentary Photography.

To design an Heirloom, you can use various tools like Fundy Designer, Smart Albums, inDesign or Lightroom as long you follow these rules. 

Visit our stores and find out more!


PrimaBook for Christmas

Christmas Mini-Sessions on the way? PrimaBook is the perfect album choice!

As the end of the year is approaching, and the Holiday Season just around the corner, we wanted to bring you yet another good idea on how to make the most of our PrimaBook. They have been a hit in 2020 with portrait, family, boudoir, and pet photography; and now, we offer PrimaBooks with holiday-themed stamps - perfect for Christmas mini-sessions! Take a look at the examples below.

The PrimaBook is available in 10 different colours, but for our photo session we’ve picked the Bluebell and Cranberry fabrics as we think these two match the Holiday Season best. You can add gold embossing using one of our new special winter holiday stamps: “Happy Holidays”, or the classic “Merry Christmas” stamp.

Even though this year our family meetings and client meetings have been greatly impacted and limited, some of us can still head outdoors for photos, or use FaceTime for remote photography so we hope that these new PrimaBook stamps will add a little holiday cheer for those who can use them! Visit our shops for more details and pricing!

Purrfect Pet Photos

“If cats could talk, they wouldn’t”

This pet photography is done in a way that’s so different to what we have seen before. It’s the purrfect combination of cute kitties and a great story idea behind each picture, topped-off with pure and simple love from this talented photographer for her models. Her name is Monika Małek, she is from Poland and she captured our attention with her wonderful work.

Maybe the cats wouldn’t like to talk if they could, but we most definitely want to talk about Monika’s work and share it here! We love it so much!

We couldn’t help ourselves - we just had to make an album. We decided on this cute 8x8” PrimaBook in Ash colour, with a tiny golden heart embossed on the cover.

It turned-out to be even better than imagined!

If you’re a pet photographer or simply a cat lover, follow Monika’s work and learn more about the PrimaBook Album which is perfect for this type of pictures!

*Quote "If cats could talk, they wouldn't." is by Nan Porter*

“I’m Tina, a Vilseck based photographer, artist, educator, and all around nerd obsessed with uplifting & documenting families of all walks of life”

We shared Tina’s Instagram stories, we really liked her post on QTLounge private Facebook group - but the Blog she wrote is just the best! We wanted to share it here, to inspire other photographers to do the same. Take a look at some snaps that Tina took, they’re just lovely!

Boudoir Photography with Jasmin Jade

The Art of Boudoir Photography!

In this week’s Blog we would like to introduce you to Jasmin Jade - who is a talented boudoir photographer and works closely with QtAlbums. We’re so lucky to have her on board - her pictures are absolutely stunning and combined with our albums they make an amazing combination!

It takes a lot of experience to manage a boudoir session - you need to make sure your clients feel comfortbale and can fully invlove with you - so that their inner & outer beauty can shine.

“When you hear ‘boudoir session’ what comes to mind? When I first started my journey as a photographer, I pictured the basics when it came to boudoir: bold lingerie, striking high heels, sensual lighting. It wasn’t until after my first few sessions that I realized there was a lot more to it than just that.

A boudoir shoot can be an exciting and gratifying experience for both the photographer and the client. However, the first time can also be a little bit intimidating! It is so unlike any other style of photography out there, and because of that requires some different planning for things to run smoothly for everyone. This is why I’ve decided to come up with some absolute essentials you may not think about needing until you’re already at your session with your client. ”
— https://www.jasminjade.com/blog/boudoir-studio-must-haves

Deckled Edge Cotton Rag Artbook

We recommend Deckled Edge Cotton Rag ArtBook as the top-of-the-range album for boudoir photography. Take a look at Jasmin’s photos printed in our album with deckled edges, Peacock Silk Cover and Gold Embossing!

PrimaBook

Early this year we’ve added PrimaBook to our products collection and as it’s so amazingly priced, it can easily be part of your offering with every boudoir shoot. Let’s be honest - a boudoir session JUST HAS TO GET PRINTED! Take a look at Tropical colour PrimaBook with Stamp “XOXO” - it’s a great match along with another stamp we have “For Your Eyes Only”


TEST PRINTS - try your own photos on all types of paper we offer!

Test Prints

A little while ago we have introduced the sales kit, with Product Catalogue (pdf), pricing spreadsheets, swatch cards, stock images and more to get you started. Now, we have added TEST PRINTS into our online shops (USA / EUR) so you can try your own photos on all types of paper that we offer. TEST PRINTS are a fantastic way to work out your color management and monitor calibration, as well as to judge which paper types work best with your style of photography.

You can upload up to 3 images and select the papers that you want to test. We recommend that you test your own style of photos (both colour and B&W) to know the quality of the prints and albums in our offer.

Paper Types

We’ve worked together with an Italian photographer, Francesco Spighi, to create a new gallery of Paper Types where you can see the difference between papers and how it looks in colour and B&W. Pictures below by Fransesco - Thank you so much for all your help!

Pet Photography & PrimaBook Albums

PET PHOTOGRAPHY

When we first made the #PrimaBook we thought it would be great for #portraits #boudoir #family #seniors #vacationalbum - but it turns out...

…it's also great for #petphotography 🐕🐱

We’ve made this cute PrimaBook in Wheat colour and gold heart symbol for Rowan Williams who is a photographer and a dog lover.

They make a great team Rowan & George, especially when it comes to work …

“Here’s my George. He’s always accompanies me to work - in my home office. He likes to roll around on the floor, bark at the postman and remind me when it’s dinner time, while I edit photos. When I’m really lucky he’ll come bounding in to my office and dump a wet, slightly muddy and absolutely rank, rope toy on to my keyboard. Delightful!”

A friend, an ambassador and a great guy - Jide Alakija

I would like to introduce you to one of our Ambassadors - Jide Alakija. He is a big fan of QtAlbums brand and has been named Nikon Ambassador! We would like to congratulate Jide for his big success and share the exciting news to our community!

My experience with QtAlbums

So I am sat there in the back of the barn watching one of the eloquently delivered presentation by one of the presenters at the SNAP Festival in Wales where I was also invited to speak and share some of my experiences at this conference by the way. I notice this tall fellow walking around taking photographs of the conference.

I’m the type who’s usually curious about how other photographers are working with ever I attend an event, peaking to learn a thing or two from them and their approach.

When we recessed I then noticed this gentleman ran over to one of the vendor stands, now a representative of the company I have come to know and love called QtAlbums.

This was the first time we met. Pawel had one of the warmest introductions I had ever had from a sales representative. He never made me feel like I had to sign up for an account with their albums. 

Fast forward 3 years on, I am one of the big fans of the brand here in the US.

The products I have come to share with my clients aligns so well with my brand.

It is indeed “Something different” a slogan I have on the front page of my website. This difference goes beyond the quality of the product but down to the quality of the service.

I don’t view Pawel as an agent of the brand any longer as he is now a friend. He was one of the first people I told when I was announced by Nikon to be an ambassador to their brand.

Being a person of colour and one that advocates very strongly for people who have not been represented strongly one of the first things I do before considering soliciting the services of a company is to check to see what their consideration is for not just people like me but other marginalised groups. It is extremely important that they not only show this representation by inclusion in their processes.

QtAlbums has demonstrated this more than most as they approached me to be included in their ambassador program. I am so glad for that encounter I had in Wales. It has become a thriving relationship that all businesses and services should never live without.
