Will your wedding album outlast changing fashion?
For couples, there is a lot to consider when designing a wedding photo album. The easy stuff is whether the album quality made and printed on acid-free, archival paper. Just about any wedding photographer can provide a high-quality album. But what about a great design that outlasts changing fashion?
Have you ever seen a dated wedding album? Maybe your parents or a friends wedding album? Just a few bad choices can quickly can quickly ruin a wedding album. Photos stylized with too many actions or page layouts that are more about fashion than thoughtful design can “age” quickly. This is a problem that I see a lot. The following tips may help when working with your photographer to design your album.

Sports photography – Royal Arts Fencing Academy
Update – for those looking photos and prints from the Arnold Fencing Classic, please see the site http://photos.royalarts.org. From the photo site you can browse images, order print products and share images on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
Not too long ago, I was contacted by Tim Mills at the Royal Arts Fencing Academy in Columbus, Ohio. They are planning the world’s largest fencing event and wanted to know if I would like to be a part of the action. My little brother is a fencer, so I jumped at the opportunity. I just finished editing some photographs and have a little to share.
Intermittent Blog Round-up
Back again with another blog round-up. It is clear that these are not going to be weekly, but frequently enough to cover interesting topics.
Speaking of interesting topics, my goal is to cover articles that are good for the novice, amateur and pro photographer alike. I get a fair amount of traffic from novices that are interested in learning more, so I certainly plan to share information for all experience levels.
What makes a good photograph?
This is not going to be a post that will give you a photography formula. Photography is not and never will be a science. Sure, a camera is a scientific instrument designed to measure and map light, but creativity is king. To start, you must have vision.
Your vision does not need to be ground breaking, but it should be unique to you. The subject matter does not need to be something fresh either. Heck, I am a portrait and wedding photographer. There is nothing new about that. Surprise, I photograph people! However, I try hard each day to approach my work with my vision. To create worthwhile photographs, for you, start with your vision.
