WordPress / Photoshelter

Photoshelter is probably one of the greatest photo systems I have ever worked with, The guys at photoshelter have made it so easy for photographers to sell their photo’s on the internet.

Photoshelter includes a whole variety of functionality from SEO, Themes, Theme Customization, Static pages, Ecommerce all built-in to the system. Unfortunately the system isnt free. They offer 3 packages ( Basic, Standard and Pro ).

My client signed up on the Standard package. Photoshelter offers photographers the option to set up a very basic website for themselves which then includes their galleries with the photo’s they wish to sell, but If you have a existing website and you just want to add the ecommerce functionality to your website you can either use the wordpress Graph Paper Press template ( which is sold separately ) View full post »

Francois van Zyl – Wedding Photographer Website

Well it is August and I have compeleted another Site just before Spring.This the time where everyone gets married. Francois said the other day that his busy time starts now. glad I could get his site done in time for the busy season.

This site was a fun project to work on, Me and Francois spent alot of time with the site, fine tuning and tweaking. He likes clean and white colors like myself. The photo’s stand out nicely and the overall feel is just awesome!

This site was once again a project where I used the prophoto backend by Net Rivet. Although this gives you nice templates to work with but I would rather just use the functionality of the system and create my own looks and themes.

Francois van Zyl is a great photographer who has a creative mind. He does Landscapes and other types of photo’s aswell and all of it is just awesome!

An African Bush Escape

Away from noisy people and greed
The bush is where my heart is
Beating with the sounds of the wild
Vast open spaces, looking into forever
Squinting into a baking African sun
Insects buzz joining the birds in song
Chirping cicadas, natures traffic noise
Morning dawns, a gentle breeze sighs
I stretch, look over the plain, no rush
For me time to absorb the stillness
