Gotta love her: Bride by Steve and Cheryl, photography by Johannes, album by Queensberry Why do images look so good in books? I asked myself that question as I walked out of the new Aussie movie, Tomorrow when the war began in which the main character delivers a satiric line, "The book usually is better than the movie"... Take an image accompanied by a line of text in a great print ad. Or a series of images of a bride walking down the aisle in an album. Or a double page spread of a horizon in National Geographic. I reckon it's because the real beauty of the images is only discovered when they're laid out in printed form. I said the other day that our wedding images as a stack of prints weren't as beautiful as the same images in a slideshow, set to music, or in our album. Same goes for images on a disk. There's no sense of completion, or context, or framing. Why miss an opportunity to wow you clients (and from your P.O.V wipe the table clean) by neglecting to present your images in the most beautiful way possible. Cheers, Nigel PS I know this is a sales pitch, but I'm a believer ;)
