Selling images through Red Bubble.

As a photographer one of the greatest thrills are of course taking the images but after that to me anyway comes when you see how your clients appreciate the images that you have created. When you see the light on their faces of approval that you were able to capture what they wanted. This week I have been working on a few different projects and one of them was for my personal benefit which is Photography Art I love taking a photograph and then turning it into photo art in Photoshop. I have uploaded a lot of the images to my Red Bubble account and this morning when I checked my emails I had made a few sales during the night someone that obviously feels the same way as I do regarding Photo art had bought 8 different images of my photo art. It was indeed a great start to my day. As a photographer you never really know what others are going to like or not and abstract photo art are very subjective you either like it or you don't care for it at all. So it is nice to know that someone else out there appreciates my photo art. 

The image below for instance I took in Dubai, it is of one of Dubai's famous Golf Clubhouse's. That you of course can not see now. You might understand now once I have told you that, that it is grass at the bottom of the image.

This image is taken in Egypt.

This image is taken in Sweden of a lily.

I have also made a 2011 calendar at Red Bubble I have made one so far but will be making more so stay tuned if you are in the market for a 2011 calendar.

Print tab on my Facebook Fan Page.

Hi,
I have today managed to figure out how to do a tab where I can sell my images from on my facebook page. I have seen other photographers do it but never figured out how or taken the time to get to know it. It was a bit laughably easy really but there you go. That is life for you for things you think are difficult may not always be. Things are not always what they seam to be!
Anyway if you click on this link you will understand what I am talking about it will take you straight to the Print page. http://www.facebook.com/shippeyphotography?v=app_7146470109&ref=ts

Take a look it is after all time to get your Christmas shopping done? Have you started yet? I sort of have I have already sent some personalised bookmarks that I have made to my parents in law. I feel safe telling you guys here on the net I am confident that they will not read it and have their christmas present spoiled ha ha. :-) They are though very savvy with internet it is not that well they know how to Skype at least which is all that matters when it comes to communicating from around the world. 

 

These are great stocking fillers for all your bookworm friends.

I love abstract art. Here are a few macro photographs of a hibiscus flower that I have truned into a more arty feel in PS. I bet they would look great printed in very large format on canvases just like a acrylic abstract painting. I used to paint in both oil and acrylics and only abstract themes. I am not sure why I don't anymore Hey maybe I should start I actually have 5 white canvases that are just waiting to get some paint on them. Well we will see how that project goes. :-) I can't promise I will keep you posted ha, ha.

Oh yes I almost forgot to tell you! My husband ran into one of my clients today and he was praising how much they loved the interior photography I did for his hotel. Yey! It is always nice to hear nice things from clients. It gives me the idea that maybe I should incorporate a page for appraisals from clients on my new website? What do you think? 

This client have unfortunately not updated their main hotel page with my images just yet but some of them are here. http://tabapoker.com/en/

As you can see from the link it is a hotel and casino, it was great fun to shoot I started at 09.00 in the morning where all the staff came straight off their night shift and it was these members of staff that was gonna be my models in the casino shots you can imagine some tired faces but they did great they were very heroic if you ask me. It was one of my most fun interior shoots I have done because the interior was so great it was modern chick and very colourful.

I remember that the post production work in PS was very tedious when it came to the images from inside the casino floor. I took away all the video cameras from the ceilings and walls and for those of you that have never been into a casino there are loads of them.

There is a Black Friday Sale of 15% off on all my Canvas and Framed Prints if you order through Red Bubble. Offer lasts till Monday.

Gearing up for a busy week ahead

Hi there,
I am at the minute multitasking with both trying to figure out how to get my photo gallery incorporated into my new website design, I think I have managed to figure out how, now I just need time to get it all done. As well as I have a busy week of photo shooting coming up, in the meantime I also need to clean my censor I saw on the last interior shoot I did that I had some dust specs visible and they are very irritating to have when you know you don't have to. So better get them out of the way before I start shooting. 
I will let you know once my new website is up and running my web address will of course be the same www.shippeyphotography.com
Today when I was walking for lunch I saw the eagle sitting on the driving range just 5 meters away from me. I so wished I had my camera with me to get some nice close ups of it. It looked absolutely magnificent. I saw it at the same spot yesterday as well so maybe tomorrow I will bring my camera with me and try to capture a few frames of it. I think tomorrow might be my last chance to capture it because as of tuesday there will be a lot more people around on the driving range trying to get ready for this years International Taba Heights Pro-Am golf tournament and I am guessing the eagle will then choose to sit someplace else while he is waiting for everyone to leave again.
