liveBooks has been a great solution for me. My work needs to be seen large and the new liveBooks Scaler website allows me to maximize my image size. Most of my images are shot with a medium format panoramic camera thus the large image size allows clients and gallery owners to see the detail in my work. In addition, my website gives the gallery owners that represent my work the ability to choose and select images for shows and for their clients.I have been with liveBooks since 2005 and have enjoyed the ability to call upon the expert support as my business needs have grown and developed. The liveBooks team has been efficient, friendly, professional, and helpful with design ideas. The ability to easily change the content on my site allows me to spend my time focused on my business and my art. I appreciate having liveBooks as my technology partner.

Steven Friedman was born in 1964 in Ottawa, Canada. It was not until he found an SLR camera on an autumn hiking adventure in the Gatineau Park that he took his first photograph. This new craft quickly became his passion and before long he established himself as a respected fine art photographer. Steven considers himself to be a purist; his approach is to capture untouched natural beauty with a large format camera. He does not believe in any manipulation of his images. All of Steven’s images are full frame from the camera and are not cropped. The is a great example of how panoramic work can be beautifully displayed online.

When we started looking around for a new website design/designer, one of our criteria was that we wanted to maximize the image while minimizing the clutter. Being able to take livebooks’ nuts and bolts and work with a real designer to create a custom site was just what we wanted, and we’re thrilled with the results. As is the case with most photographers, our website is the most important marketing tool we have. If we’re not happy with it, life is pretty rough. When it works, the phone rings.

Jon Feingersh Productions

Posted by liveBooks

When I got my first liveBooks site a few years ago, I was impressed with how easy it was to make design changes and update my imagery. The liveBooks support team was extremely easy to work with.

The truth was I felt I really didn’t need a website, since 100% of my income was generated by stock sales. I only used it to establish my bona-fides for potential locations and models. Having recently decided to pursue assignment work, I knew I needed an updated website. Initially I was not happy to pay an extra premium for the Scaler site, but now I’m very happy I did. Our new Scaler site presents the images the way they should be seen – large and beautiful – which has a completely different visual impact.

Well done, liveBooks!

We think his liveBooks website allows his images speak for themselves!

I chose liveBooks for their beautiful design + exquisite functionality but what really blows me away is the constant evolution of the product. There are so many options for customizing your site. And Scaler is just amazing…it’s fun to see what they’ll come up with next. Plus they have the nicest + smartest tech support around. I love sending clients to my liveBooks site. Every cool new feature that they come up with ultimately benefits my clients. liveBooks has proven to be an awesome business partner.

Lisa Desimini: Author and illustrator

Posted by liveBooks

I wanted a new design for my website but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money and, most importantly, I wanted control. When I heard about liveBooks I knew it would be perfect for me. They have plenty of templates to choose from, it’s easy and fun to upload and move images around and the custom changes I requested were completed within 1-2 days. I was able to create a professional site with just enough personalization. One of the best features is Scaler, the ability for images to grow to fit large screens. It makes quite an impression.

Now, whenever I want to post a new image or make a refreshing change I can do it in a matter of minutes!

Lisa is known for exploring new media. She has worked with oils, acrylics, collage, photography and sculpture. Sometimes she combines all of these techniques on the computer. Lisa visits schools, libraries and universities to talk about her books and techniques.

liveBooks is valuable to me because I can very easily manage all my content. As an artist being able to keep my work current without having to be, or need a developer is important. I wanted a custom designed website that is elegant and simple so as not to compete with my work. After working with liveBooks’ design team I think I’ve achieved that goal. It is a great value for the money.

She thinks about and references other media when preparing for a shoot. You’ll get a sense of her finely honed artistic sensibility when viewing her still and motion work.

I have been working with liveBooks since 2008 and have always been very happy with not only the results of the website itself, but with the great customer service I have received. I recently upgraded to the new Scaler site, which I am very excited about. The whole process was extremely smooth. I always received quick responses to my questions and or changes that needed to be made. When it was time to go live, my site was up within an hour! The liveBooks editSuite allows me to quickly and easily update the site, or make changes to its functionality. There’s no need to call or email anyone, and of course no charges to change the content.

All photographers will appreciate the potential of the new Scaler sites. Seeing your images as large as the screen is really something special! liveBooks is not just a container for pretty pictures, there’s a lot of work going on in the background. Since switching to liveBooks my SEO is greatly improved, and they make it easy with a simple page to fill out. I’ll be enjoying my new site and whatever else liveBooks comes up with in the future!

I think you’ll agree that Jeffrey’s education and experience as an architect and an engineer make him well suited to photograph the built environment.

I decided to go with a liveBooks custom designed website after doing a lot of research. Most importantly, I needed a site I could update myself. I wanted a design to represent my work in a way that is clear and modern, yet traditional. My liveBooks designer listened to my input and considered what I wanted very carefully. I was amazed! My new site was up and running in no time. While the recession hit the wedding industry particularly hard my website has helped me exceed my projections for the year. The feedback I receive from clients and photographers about my site is universally positive – it’s the perfect marriage of photography and design. I highly recommend liveBooks as a complete solution that will give you a huge competitive advantage. Scaler has taken my website and brand to a whole new level. The impact is instant and gorgeous. It was an investment in my business that I’m glad I made!
