I love doing these event books because they really show off the whole range of photos from an event and let me add the creative detail photos and ‘quiet/behind the scenes moments’ that I love to shoot.

If you hover over the example above, there are some captions here and there. Also, clicking on it will take you to a web page where you can see all of the photos. The first shots are from the Highland Hospital Gala and later are from RIT. I create the books in Apple’s Aperture software.

I’m doing 7 books for RIT Alumni from the even I shoot tonight, so you know what I’ll be doing Monday.

And the price I charge right now is just $100 to create the book (which honestly takes 2-3 hours or more), and then $100 per printed, hardcover 8.5×11″ book. I’m sure in time those prices will have to go up, but I’m thrilled clients are getting into the idea more and more.

Get Photos Onto Your Site Easily with Slide

I’ve been using the service from Slide.com for a while and it continues to grow and add features.

It seems their market is the MySpace, Facebook crowd of vanity and blink slideshows, but wow, for a photographer, it’s an awesome way to easily get Flash versions of your images onto your site.

The above gallery is a ‘collage’ and below is a nice sliding effect that can scroll along in your site or blog.


Other great features:

  • easy shows from your images in Flickr
  • the shows can be sized and look good at smaller sizes
  • for all of the kitchy, trashy stuff you can do to pimp out your shows, you can still choose classy, pro-like shows with simple fades and effects
  • They have a Mac Uploader and some very interesting software you can run from your desktop

Its easy and free, so go and check them out and see more of my slide shows HERE.
