Over 10,000 professional photographers are now using Collages.net! Many of our photographers incorporate Collages.net into their studios in unique, creative, and revenue-generating ways. Professional Tips is where our photographers share the many ways they are maximizing the tools offered by Collages.net.
This month, Joe Elario of Joe Elario Photography shares how Collages.net products and online event sites keep up with his studio’s cutting-edge style and high standards.
"I have been involved with Collages.net since the very beginning. Although we looked at and even tried several of their industry known competitors, Collages.net is our company.
I, Joe (the eldest), started shooting weddings full time about 20-24 years ago, my style being a bit left of center, although I do not like to be labeled as photojournalistic. My intention then was not to be referred to as a wedding photographer, but simply a 'people/lifestyle photographer.' I was tremendously inspired by both news and fashion photographers at a very young age, and both Life and Look magazines week after week showcased the photography I grew up with and continue to love.
JP, the younger Joe, started shooting alongside me at age eleven. He finished his formal photography education at Savannah College of Art & Design back in the early 1990s. We shoot about 95% of all our weddings together today and while my work moves a bit more to the center, his is always left to right and never center.
After we shoot, every event is uploaded to Collages.net. Clients receive both a hosted Premium Site and a soft cover press printed book, always with a custom-designed, wrap-around cover. Our brides and their moms love the magazine-like quality of the press printed books. On the back side of every book, we print the log-in information for their event site. As to not distract from the image, it is printed as an understated, yet important reminder of where the images can be viewed online.
We used to offer Collages.net online galleries as an option for a fee, but we now provide it for all client sessions. We have enjoyed working with everyone at Collages.net in the past and their customer service is very easy to work with. Their products are cutting-edge, which lends their style perfectly to my own."
