A couple of weeks ago I posted an update called Good Things Take Time…including blogposts. I should really have saved that statement for this post I think.

All Good Things Take Time…including blogposts
Lately I feel a bit like someone attending confession every time I post on here…forgive me dear readers for I have sinned. It’s been almost 3 months since my last post…
2015 Council Calendar
As mentioned in my update post our big project from last year was the Invercargill City Council’s 2015 calendar.
And So We Become One
As mentioned a few times, over the past several months we’ve been doing a lot of behind the scenes work on our brand.

New Year Changes and Introductions
Currently our business is largely represented via two Facebook pages: Findlater Photography (for client and commercial work) and Layton Findlater Photography (for Layton’s artistic work).

Getting Published
Today we had the pleasure of having our pictures published in a tabloid in our local paper (The Southland Times). It’s so satisfying to have someone appreciate your work and even more satisfying to see it in print.
This tabloid is an annual publication inserted into the paper targeted at visitors to our region.

Back to Basics Update
What’s more exciting than buying the film camera you’ve been lusting after for a year or so?
Having it delivered to your door and having it in your hot little hands that’s what!
You may have guessed the F5 that we mentioned in our first Back to Basics post arrived today and we’re slightly excited about it. Continue reading
Photoshop and Photography
Over the years we’ve had a love-hate relationship with Photoshop. When we were first introduced to it we were in it for the quick fixes and the easy ‘wow’s. As time passed we started experimenting with everything Photoshop could do. This was followed by a short but intense phase of composite creation. Here are a few examples of some of Layton’s early composites:
