This week’s Folio Friday Foto comes from Phil Nunez’s latest sample album. The wedding – and images – had such a classic style and feel, and I just loved this bridal shot taken towards the end of the bridal preparation section of the day. The image looks reminiscent of a 1940s/1950s glamour shot, and the soft lighting and similar colour …
#FFF: 10th May 2013
This week’s Folio Friday Foto comes from one of Alex Beckett’s latest client albums. The album contained a beautiful spring / early-summertime wedding, and it had a great mix of fun, personalised, shots, and traditional images. This image was used for a full bleed, double page spread, and it truly deserves to be called a hero shot. The spread made …
#FFF: 26th April 2013
This week’s Folio Friday Foto comes from Tom Weller’s latest client album. This week we have another stunning ‘final spread’ image, but this time with a more ‘Alice in Wonderland’ fairytale feel. The contrast between the darkened surroundings, and the silhouette of the couple, set against the bright sky really makes the image stand out and pop. It has such …
#FFF: 12th April 2013
This week’s Folio Friday Foto comes from Albert Palmer’s latest client album. Albums with strong opening and closing images always stand out, but the closing spread for this album is truly stunning. Night shots are always tricky to pull off, and it takes a lot of time and work to get that beautiful hero shot in all of its glory. …
Barrie Downie on… Albums vs DVD Packages
Our DVD cases, launched earlier this year, were a welcome addition to our store. We had received requests for a long time to supply DVD cases which matched our Fine Art Albums. Upon their release we received many queries about offering digital packages over albums. Whilst we can provide advice about the pros and cons of Albums vs DVDs, we …
Folio Albums… The Standard Album
Whether you are new to the album side of the photography business, or whether you are looking to get a new sample album and feel spoilt for choices – this blog post is a result of the many queries we receive about our ‘standard album’. Lately we have found that more and more of our customers want to know about …
Mona’s Albums
We received some great feedback for our latest Professional Photographer advert wherein Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa stepped in as the face of Folio. Her appearance on our SWPP stand also became a great conversation starter as she stood alongside Van Outen. If you didn’t manage to catch a glimpse as our Mona made the rounds, you can take a look …
#FFF: Friday 15th March 2013
We may have had a little break from our #FFF posts, but we are re-launching it with the most unique groomsman photo we have yet to see taken from Linda Scannell’s latest client album. To say that this image caught my eye is probably a pun too far, but it definitely stands out from any other groomsmen photographs that we …
Awesome Albums: Siegrid Cain
Here at Folio Albums we see hundreds of album designs every month, which display a range of styles in photography and design. We decided to start up an ‘Awesome Albums’ section so that we could share with you some of the designs that really stood out when we were making the album. The designs in this section are ones that …
Folio Albums Presents: The New 6×6 Canvas Range
When we introduced our new Stone canvas cover option last Autumn, we announced that the rest of our 6×6 canvas range would be receiving an update in 2013. Although our original canvas cover range is being phased out, the range will remain available during this transition – with the exception of the discontinued Shadow Grey – and will be phased …
Folio Albums Presents: The DVD Cases
We have received a lot of requests for DVD cases to match our fine art albums – and the wait is over. Available in our Contemporary Leather range, with the option to upgrade to either the Vintage or Eco Leather covers, our DVD cases are the perfect compliment to any wedding album or portrait book, and they are available as …
Folio Albums Presents: The Finishing Touches Part I
Whilst the major choices such as paper type and cover material are the main components that you consider when ordering your album, or finalising choices with clients, we know that the finer details matter too. Folio Albums are considering these little details and what we can do to make things that touch more personalised. The first ‘finishing touch’ that we …
Folio Albums: Colour Cotton Update
Our suppliers recently informed us that they have ceased manufacture of the Bronze colour cotton option. If you have any client albums to order in Bronze, we do have limited stock left on our store. Please get in touch if you have any queries about the availability of this cover option. Any Cotton & Silk keyring bundles will now be …
#FFF… 21st December 2012
This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Jonathan Stockton’s latest sample album. We have another double feature [maybe the post should be renamed to Folio Friday Fotos…] but once again I’m sure you’ll see why we wanted to include both shots that we were kindly sent. This may be the season for winter weddings, but these images come from …
#FFF… 14th December 2012
This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Olivia Brabbs’ latest client album. Once again we have a double feature image – only the embrace shot featured in the finalised album but Olivia kindly asked if we wanted the kiss shot as well, and since they both looked amazing it seemed only right to use them both! This album had …
Caroline Weiss on… Winter Weddings
As Christmas draws closer, and the weather grows colder, it is undeniable that winter is here. Although the existence of a UK summer is debatable, wintertime weddings are growing increasingly popular. On the practical side, they can be more cost-affective, but they also allow couples to create a more glamorous and magical night with cinematic scenery, candlelit venues, and snow …
Photography Farm Workshops 2013
Something quite exciting will be taking place in January 2013 – so there will be no post-Christmas blues in the photography world this year. For one week only, from the 23rd to 27th of January, the Photography Farm will be flinging open its doors for the first ever Farm Week – five days of talks and workshops to get creativity …
#FFF… 7th December 2012
This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Paul Maven’s latest sample album. Throughout the entire album, there were many images of the couple (and their guests) laughing and having a good time, which made it a fun album to look through. This image stood out from the rest not only for the breakdancing child, but also because of the …
#FFF… 30th November 2012
This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Nadine Burzler’s latest client album. We have a triple feature/action shot for you this week. When looking through the album design this image came after the outside shots of the bride and groom, where Nadine had shot the children running around and playing in the grounds. It is the middle shot which …
#FFF… 23rd November 2012
This week’s Folio Friday Foto is taken from Cris Matthews’ latest client album. The location used for the wedding had many intricate and beautiful details, and this image definitely makes the most of these exquisite features. The elaborate railing on the spiral staircase and the ornamental roses on the wall, all lead the eye down to the wedding party and …
