Showcase High-End Products Through Photos and Stunning Displays

As photographers and creatives, we know that our work shines brightest when it’s tangible—held in the hands, displayed on walls, and woven into the fabric of our clients’ lives. But to sell high-end albums and wall art, clients need to see them for what they truly are: timeless, handcrafted pieces of art.

If you want to sell it, you have to show it.

It’s that simple. Your clients can’t desire what they can’t envision. By showcasing high-quality photos of your albums and wall art on your website, social media, and in your studio, you’re helping them see the value in turning their memories into something they’ll treasure forever.

The Power of Professional Photography

When it comes to selling premium products, quality matters—and that extends to how you present those products. By photographing your albums and wall art in ways that emphasize their craftsmanship, you’re creating an emotional connection before the client ever holds them in their hands.

● For Albums:

Highlight the textures of the cover material, the thickness of the pages, and the quality of the printing. Capture detail shots that focus on the nishing touches, like custom embossing or debossing. Show the album in a lifestyle setting, perhaps resting on a coffee table or being ipped through by hands that tell their own story.

● For Wall Art:

Photograph wall art in real-life environments, like above a cozy living room sofa or as a centerpiece in a modern dining room. Include a sense of scale by showing the art in proportion to other furniture or décor. Use natural lighting to enhance the richness of the prints and frames.

Bring Your Studio to Life

If you have a studio space, use it to its full potential. Display sample products in well-lit, inviting areas where clients can see and touch them. Seeing a gallery wall or ipping through a nished album in person creates a lasting impression—and makes the investment feel worthwhile. Don’t have a studio? Bring the same approach to your website or social media. Post beautifully styled photos of your products so clients can imagine what their memories might look like in their own homes.

Tell the Story Behind the Product

Great storytelling is a powerful sales tool. Use your blog, website, or social media captions to share the story behind your products. For example:

“This heirloom album was handcrafted with archival materials to preserve the Smith family’s wedding memories for generations.”

“Imagine waking up to this stunning family portrait in your bedroom every day—bringing a little more joy to your mornings.”

By weaving stories into your product displays, you’re helping clients connect emotionally with the products you offer.

Where to Start

1. Choose Your Best Products: Select albums and wall art that showcase your nest work and represent your brand.

2. Photograph Thoughtfully: Invest time in creating well-lit, detailed images of your products in lifestyle settings.

3. Update Your Marketing: Share these images across your website, social media, and email campaigns.

Clients don’t just want to buy prints—they want to buy the feeling of having their memories beautifully preserved and displayed. Your visuals should evoke that desire.

New to designing albums and wall art, or already doing it but looking to save countless hours? Check out software like Fundy Designer to create albums, wall art collections, cards, studio magazines and more in minutes.

Multiple sizes and quantities are possible!

F A Q

WHICH ALBUMS QUALIFY FOR THIS DEAL?

Flat rate copies are available with the purchase of 12x12”, 10x10” or 8x8” AriaBooks, Matte Paper ArtBooks, Cotton Rag ArtBooks and Deckled Edge Cotton Rag ArtBooks (does not include Journal). Flat Rate Copies are configured as photo paper AriaBooks even if your main album is an ArtBook.

COVER SELECTION

Copies will have the exact same fabric and personalization as the main album.

UPLOADING DESIGNS

You don’t have to re-upload spreads for flat rate duplicates. Just select the duplicate checkbox (or checkboxes) on the bottom of the AriaBook/ArtBook page. We will do the rest on our end.

PACKAGING

By default, they are wrapped in kraft paper but you can select the kraft presentation box option easily. If you require a more fancy box, please add them as separate products from our Album Box Collection.

PAPER OPTIONS

If your Main Album is an AriaBook, your Flat Rate Album Copies will also be AriaBooks and the paper will match the choice you made for the Main Album of Fuji Silk or Fuji Lustre paper. Page thickness will also match your Main Album.

If your Main Album is a Matte Paper ArtBook, your Flat Rate Album Copies will be AriaBooks on Fuji Lustre paper with Regular page thickness. If you want to have copies done on Matte Paper, you need to skip the Flat Rate option and instead use the 30% Off Duplicate Discount that we have always offered.

If your Main Album is a Cotton Paper ArtBook (straight or deckled edges), your Album Copies will be AriaBooks on Fuji Lustre paper with Regular page thickness. If you want to have copies done on matching Cotton Paper, you need to skip the Flat Rate option and instead use the 30% Off Duplicate Discount that we have always offered.

Please remember that there will be a substantial difference in the look and feel of the paper between ArtBooks and AriaBooks so we recommend purchasing all albums as AriaBooks with this promo or using the standard 30% off offer for ArtBooks.

WHY NOT FLAT RATE ARTBOOKS?

ArtBooks are our most labor-intensive and time-consuming products to make. The huge difference in production requirements allow us to provide a flat rate offer on AriaBooks, but not ArtBooks.

CAN I STILL PURCHASE 6X6" COPIES (FORMERLY DUOBOOKS)?

Due to technical challenges, we can not offer 6x6” size with as many spreads as the main album (25 maximum). We recommend ordering 8x8” copies instead. Their pricing is very close to the former “DuoBooks”.

You can also opt for our super affordable QT Pockets, they come in single copies, bundles of 3 or 5. Perfect for a small number of spreads from 5-25, with a lovely gold heart embossed on the cover.

SAMPLE ALBUM COPIES

If you are ordering samples with code ALBUMSAMPLE50 and you select Flat Rate Album Copies, we will discount the copies flat rate price by 50%. This is a great option for providing sample books to vendors/venues. First spread must be marked as sample to take advantage of the sample discount.

DOES THIS CANCEL THE 30% OFF DUPLICATE PROMO?

No, our 30% off deal is still valid if you require a main AriaBook to be other size than 8x8, 10x10 or 12x12” or if you require your ArtBook duplicates to be in matching Matte Paper or Cotton Rag paper. In this case you still need to specify your requirements in the comments and we will manually recalculate your order.

HOW TO ORDER FLAT RATE COPIES?

Select your one of the products listed below, log in and continue with uploading spreads, and adding cover info. You will reach the end of the order form where we will ask you to select Flat Rate Album Copies. All you need to do is check a box(es), and the flat rate price will automatically be added to your order value. You don't need to upload files again or fill out any other details, we will use the same files and details you provided for the Main Book.

Please note that the copies will not appear in the cart as separate line items - they are considered an option for the Main Album.

PRODUCTS AVAILABLE WITH FLAT RATE COPIES:

US/INTERNATIONAL STORE (USD) - only 8x8, 10x10, 12x12” main books

EUROPEAN STORE (EUR) - only 20x20cm, 25x25cm and 30x30cm main books

My Secret Recipe For Editing Wedding Photos Editing In ¼ Of The
Time - Without Compromises!

Over the last 10 years, wedding photography shifted toward what I always thought it should’ve been: intimate, highly personal, and tailored to each and every couple. When I arrive to shoot a wedding, I already know exactly how I want to portray the story of each wedding and how the photos would look like.

However, with this shift, I saw that both my colleagues and I are getting more and more overwhelmed by the part that our clients are somewhat oblivious to: the (mostly) monotonous editing phase. 

Nitzan's raw image

As a busy (and very grateful) photographer, I tried countless tricks to make life easier for myself: I tried automating large parts of my process, made my own wedding photo editing presets - I even purchased a controller to Lightroom to make things more productive.  

It took me years to develop my unique editing style - and mimicking it, or replicating it, is nearly impossible. Like many other professionals in the field, I tried going down the assistant road - but was disappointed time and again. Teaching a new person your own photo-editing style is time and energy-consuming, and unfortunately, all the talented people I trained (no less than 14 of them!) were not up to par. 

I walked around for years thinking to myself: there must be a way to teach my computer my point of view, and make this process so much more efficient than it is today!

My idea finally got an actual shape 2.5 years ago, when I was hired to do a shoot for a couple in their happiest of days. Little did I know, but the universe was reading my thoughts - cause the soon-to-be-husband, Yoav, has a background in AI! From that moment on, my dream became a reality.

In just 4 clicks, I’m getting 1000 edited photos in about 20 minutes. I no longer need to go over each and every photo myself - my AI-based, personalized assistant learned my style and does it for me, no explanations needed! 

Instead of me tweaking every picture from scratch, it was applying my own personalized profile in amazing accuracy and speed (a second per photo!) onto each one singularly - so I barely need to touch them afterward. It is really the next generation of Lightroom presets!

I can finally spend the thousands of hours I’m saving on the parts of photo editing that I actually love and enjoy - removing unwanted items from the frame or making the photo even more aesthetic (without “beautifying” people, in my opinion, everyone I shoot is already beautiful!).

I’ve always believed that as a professional photographer, I need to keep improving myself and my service for my clients. ImagenAI allows me to save a lot of time and energy, and helps me to focus on giving my clients the best possible outcome. It’s the best assistant I could ever ask for, and I can highly recommend it to everyone in the business.

Nitzan Gur is an award-winning wedding photographer from Israel. With more
than 10 years in the field, he describes his work as a way of spreading
stories and calls it his mission to capture unforgettable moments. His
signature personal photo editing style is known for its warm tones and
light.

If you haven’t found your editing voice yet then you can try out one
of ImagenAI’s TALENT profiles they have on offer. These are ready-to-use
profiles that have been made by top photographers they have partnered with,
including Nitzan Gur (his profile is called ‘Warm Skin Tones).

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.
