Back From The Beach

Jonny Back — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:48:07 +0000

Just got back from holidaying in Kent, so thought I should share something of our stay in Broadstairs.

And yes, we went to Margate too, for those of you who can spot the giveaway clue of the Turner Contemporary Gallery roof!

Portrait Session

I did a portrait session for Kristy Noble to use for her website recently, we went to Hampstead Heath in London to do the shots. Here are some of the results…

New Galleries

Jonny Back — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:32:12 +0000

Great news for everybody who found the galleries for buying prints from my website a bit clunky.

We have a new design and layout, a much better shopping, sharing and viewing experience.

Some of the new features…
- Slideshows to view the images fullscreen.
- Create your own favourites so you can make your own selections of photographs.
- Shopping carts that can be saved and added to later.
- Sharing of the gallery or individual photographs by email, Facebook and Twitter.
- There’s even an option to buy the files to download and print yourselves.

All in all a big improvement.

Below is a sneak preview…

Photography for Schools & Colleges

Jonny Back — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:34:04 +0000

Do you know a school, college or universities who may be interested in photography for their websites or prospectuses?

I have been approaching school and colleges recently to launch my new Education service and it would be great if you could pass on my details to any teachers or lecturers that may need some photography to show off what they do.

There is a gallery on the about the Education service on the website, but the link to pass on to friends is www.jonnyback.com/education-flyer.pdf

Exhibition – Edgar Martins – Wapping Project

Jonny Back — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:25:50 +0000

I went to this exhibition in Wapping and highly recommend it to you, the photography was brilliant and really suited its setting. It shows what can be done to transform a space. One of the best photography solo shows I have seen.

Edgar Martins: This is not a House

Until March 4th

A series of photographs exploring the collapse of the US housing market and the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

The Wapping Project is a restaurant, bar and gallery in the renovated Wapping Hydraulic Power Station. It is an inspiring place and one I will definitely be going back to.

Here are some shots I took of the place…

Here are some photographs from recent wander/trek (over 10 miles is a long wander right!?) around London…

Googling my way to fame!

Jonny Back — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:28:45 +0000

One of the biggest challenges for me as a business is to get myself higher up the Google list for wedding photography.

It’s alright somebody Googling “Jonny Back” but it’s the people who don’t know me who are likely to search for wedding photographers in their area. I’ve been trying to get higher up the pecking order for “wedding photography ealing” recently and I am happy to say that I am on the third page!

I’m on the first page for St Albans having come from that neck of the woods and having spent a lot of time tweaking my site’s SEO, keywords, titles and overall design (with lots of help – thanks to d3i and Richard Lalchan in particular here).

It’s all about getting you website to be Google friendly and there are all sorts of mysteries about the best way to do this, for example, getting up there for “wedding photography london” is even harder as there are 4 million sites for this term, all trying to be top.

I know this is a very geeky blog but I thought I would share some of the not-so-photographic things that are involved with being a photographer these days!

Just Another Snow Album

So it snowed. I would feel guilty if I didn’t photograph it! Love the whiteness…
