For a country with the population of the San Francisco Bay Area, New Zealand has a lot of great photographers, and we're proud that many of them are Queensberry clients. We're delighted to say that one of the best has agreed to write for us. Johannes van Kan of Moda Fotografica has been a friend since 1993, when Heather and I first met him at NZIPP's annual conference and awards judging. Since then Johannes has qualified as a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers and was New Zealand Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2004 and 2005, and winner of the New Zealand Wedding Album of the Year Award in 2007 and 2008. Johannes describes himself as a Queensberry partisan, and the feeling is mutual. We regularly use his images in our display albums, for good reason: they always attract admiring attention, and that's always great for sales! Johannes describes himself as a "photographer, poet and coffee tester". He's also a fan of good music and an exceptional album designer and Photoshop artist. We look forward to him sharing his secrets, skills and insights with us. Cheers, Ian PS Johannes isn't the only winner in the family. He runs Moda Fotografica with his wife Jo Grams, originally from Queensland Australia, who is also an NZIPP Fellow and won Wedding Photographer of the Year in 2006.
