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

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*

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!

Example of Cotton Rag Paper Prints

You can test all the paper types listed below

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 …

rowan and george.png
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!

OFFER PRIMABOOK WITH PET PHOTOGRAPHY

PrimaBook is exactly what you need for this type of album - the choice of sizes, the choice of colours and a set of beautiful stamps. Plus is amazingly priced for the usual QT high quality. If you want to learn more about this book and how to offer it to your clients, get in touch with me - I will ♥️ to help you!

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.

Best Print Products for Newborn & Family Photography

What do a few months of isolation do to people? A lot more family time for sure. If we’re lucky, one good thing that might come out of the coronavirus lockdown is a Baby Boom.

Are you ready for more family and newborn sessions?


PRIMABOOK

The PrimaBook is a book that can be a perfect solution for a family or newborn photography. Our Magnolia & Bluebell colours would be great for newborn albums, and of course, you can stamp it with a cute little golden heart.

If you are a family photographer, then adding an album to a photo session is a must! What good are family pictures if they are left sitting on a computer or thumb drive? The super affordable PrimaBook is what you need to have a happy client. And we have a stamp just for the occasion - Family!


THE LITTLE QT JOURNAL ARTBOOK

Little babies are cute, and we refer to our 4x4 albums as LittleQTs, so we think this pairing of newborn photos and our 4x4” Journal ArtBook is a match made in heaven. The hand-torn deckled edges and soft texture of cotton rag paper are just beyond gorgeous. It’s small size also makes it extra portable - more chances for referrals! “Just imagine Grandma getting an album like that” - this phrase could be a good selling point for your clients. Take a look at the photos provided by Brianna Payne who is not only a talented photographer, but a lovely woman to work with!


MATTED FOLIOS

Our hand-made Matted Folios hold two or three images printed on Fuji Lustre photo paper or fine art Cotton Rag paper. Your prints are permanently mounted to a beautifully textured mat board and ready for display on any desk or mantle. They are a wonderful little gift that you can offer your clients with your family sessions.


MATTED COTTON PRINTS & CLAMSHELL BOX

A perfect combination: choose your matted cotton prints in the traditional style or with deckled edges and pair them with a beautiful clamshell presentation box. Newborn photographers love prints, and 100% Cotton Rag paper is ideal for portrait photography. Free of optical brighteners and printed with archival pigment inks, the details, colours and skin tones are superb. Clamshell boxes come in a wide range of colors in linen, velvet or silk and can be personalised to any taste. Thank you Veneta Hitrova for sharing your pictures!


Print Your Vacation Photos in PrimaBook

We all have that one special holiday (some lucky people have more!) that we love to go back to in our memory. When we’ve had great time, when we’ve been with people who mean a lot to us, when we’ve visited amazing places on this planet. We all take pictures like crazy, but what do you do with them after?

Be like Valerie and Ivana - two fantastic ladies photographers who I had the pleasure to work with to create this Blog -

AND PRINT YOUR OWN PHOTOS!

What is the best album to pick for your travel photos? Both Valerie and Ivana went for PrimaBook - it’s super affordable, so you can make albums of all your travels.

Get your code for 20% off PrimaBook!

READ THE BLOG

Valerie has created a 30x30cm PrimaBook (colour Wheat) from her stunning New Zealand trip, and here is was she told me:

I could touch the cover all day every day. It’s super soft and I love it. I decided to not only print the pictures of my New Zealand journey but also add my texts to it. It’s like a storybook that I want to read and show to my own kids one day.

Finish off the cover with one of our pre-made stamps in gold - “Memories” would be the perfect fit.

It was so good to see that Valerie wasn’t the only person with a PrimaBook travel album idea - Ivana had it too! And they have both inspired me to write this Blog and share this idea with you all.

Here is what Ivana wrote about her album:

I’ve been using QT albums for a few years and I fell in love with the quality immediately! I use them for my client’s wedding albums and I was excited to try the new Prima album as it promised the same QT quality at an affordable rate. Well, the Prima book didn’t disappoint! It’s perfect for smaller sessions and travel albums to preserve those favourite photos we always forget on our phones for years. My partner and I made our own travel album with Prima and it’s a beauty! The velvet-like cover fabric is so smooth to touch and looks great with the golden embossing. We keep it on our bedside drawers and look through it often to remind us of the adventures we’ve had and that we should never stop dreaming of new ones even in these hard times.

If you’re a photographer, who has tons of pictures from travel and holiday, and you feel that now is the time to finally print them and treat yourself with an album, we’ve got something for you!

20% OFF until the end of September on your OWN PrimaBook!

Then, using the Drop Zone technology built-in, photographers can easily adjust to fit their style; dropping in different photos with one click, swapping spread layouts automatically, scaling single images or groups by grabbing the edge and dragging while the balance of the images auto-adjust to fit the layout and page. One-click flipbook sharing with clients for approval couldn’t be easier.

The amazing photos by Voyteck, the great designing tools by Fundy and QtAlbums beautiful hand-made albums were mixed together and the outcome is HAPPY CLIENTS!

This is what our good friend, Voyteck, has told us about our new PrimaBook.


When I saw the newsletter about the Prima book, I knew I had to get my hands on this beauty. I am a huge fan of documenting life and printing memories and was very excited to be able to offer my clients something new.

Just a few weeks before the lockdown, I got to hang out with an awesome family who were expecting twins. We took some beautiful photos and I thought it would be a great idea to use those images for a test print.

Once the book arrived I got in touch with them again and, with an excuse of offering them a free doorstep shoot, I got to film their reaction of this little gift. I have to be honest, originally I was selfishly thinking of printing some photos of our gang but, I am so glad that I came up with this idea. The reaction was priceless and I got to meet (from a safe distance) two tiny humans.
Huge thanks to QT for printing this awesome book and to
FUNDY for making the best album software design to make it easy. Here is a short clip of this story.
