Almost a year ago to the day I posted this picture on flickr. It was a part of my (abandoned) 52weeks project.
Today I spotted this book lying around the house, my first cover photo.
It actually arrived a couple of weeks ago but it reminded me I need to free up some time (magic formulas are welcome) and pick up on my pending personal projects.
When taking a picture, I have my desired outcome ready and waiting in my head .. it’s just there.
I know what I want, I just need to set-up, dial-in, point & shoot.
When making a wedding album, I’m faced with dilemmas …
I want everything to be perfect, a fixed set of margins to create white space so my pictures can breathe in the album. No mixture of layout styles on my pages, but an idea throughout the album. I want to stick to that. But after a couple of pages, doubt creeps in…
Will clients even notice my tidy margins? They will probably just flip the pages. Will they appreciate the clean layout or does it become boring after a while? Do I go for white or black background, do I mix? Do I call and show the couple 2 ideas, let them decide (and ruin the surprise) or do I blow them away on presentation day.
How do you deal with your album designs?
I suddenly remember promising a blog article about my wedding preparations & shoot.
I’ll make that my next priority when I’m having a new case of “wedding-album-designers”-block.
For now, a behind the scenes look… (with pink shirt and all)

If there are couples out there getting nervous about this blog post, fear not, this belongs to my normal workflow and insures top quality 😉
Without a doubt the highlights of our trip, a 3day jeep tour to & through the Uyuni salt flats.
The variety of landscapes was overwhelming.

All pictures where taken with the 400D and the 18-55 kitlens. I didn’t have any ND or polarizing filters so I bracketed all the shots to have a ‘correct’ exposure. Landscapes where stitched from up to 8 portrait pictures with canon’s photostitch. Even with the equipment used I’m still pretty happy with these stitches. Now to find a service to print this format.
