In a digital age prints do still matter

We did a shoot for a lovely family last weekend and their photo prints arrived this morning.  They are getting quite a selection but it was the 20x16 inch print of their youngest daughter that struck us.  This photos is beautiful on screen but seeing it as a large format print like that made us realise that in an age when everything is going digital and everyone is sharing photos on Facebook and the like that prints still have "that" appeal.  What it is we can't put our finger on but this prints is stunningly beautiful and we can't wait for our clients to collect it tomorrow and see the look on their faces.

Print photographs are not a step backwards, nor are they a step forwards.  They are forever, they are still the best way to see a photograph and we believe that our clients will always wants prints to show of the fabulousness of them.

Filey Panorama

Filey_bay_panorama_2


I am always looking for new techniques to try in my Photography and this is from my personal passion rather than the business angle.  Panoramas are something I have wanted to try for a while but never got round to doing it.  So when on holiday recently on the east coast I took a series of photos whilst on the Filey beach.  It was a family holiday so hadn't brought my tripod which I have always assumed unnecessary for a panorama, so instead I used the centre focusing point in my view finder and kept that on the horizon line in order to take the series.  Then I loaded all the photos into Photoshop and used Photomerge to create the panorama.  I love the result and hope you do too.
