The old year flying away

A NEW, UNIFIED LOOK!

First of all, thank you to all of you that took the Boxing Day sale chance to enlarge your collections with our artworks! Once done with preparing all the parcels for shipping, I thought about something that needed to be addressed for quite some time already, and I put some work into the consistence of my "web looks", so to speak. The problem was that this blog, my VIERI BOTTAZZINI FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY website and my commercial work website, while following more or less the same aesthetics, have been developed in different times. Inevitably, due to changes in taste and in the website providers used, they ended up not looking consistent with one other and needed to be touched up a bit.Now I did it, and I hope that with their new and more unified look they'll offer an even more pleasant experience to people moving back and forth between them. Let me know what you think!

As well, here is a new photo that I just posted on VIERI BOTTAZZINI FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY:

Getting ready for the New Year, which will bring more exciting news! Stay tuned...

NEW: PANORAMA AND GRAND PANORAMA SERIES AVAILABLE!

Lovers of large panoramic images, this one is for you! Now available for purchase on VIERI BOTTAZZINI FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY is two new series of artworks, Panorama and Grand Panorama, for lovers of large, huge panoramic images. By keeping image height fixed no matter what the image ratio is, the new PANORAMA and GRAND PANORAMA series will result in much bigger images than the regular series when image ratio is above 3:2. The "wider" the image, the bigger the difference between regular and Panoramic series is!

These are only some example of the panoramic images you'll find on VIERI BOTTAZZINI FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY:

THE ITALIAN LOCALISATION IS DONE! AND OTHER NEWS...

Here I am, with some news on my new VIERI BOTTAZZINI FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY website after the Grand Opening about a week ago. First of all, a big

THANK YOU!!

to the nearly 2.000 people who took the time to check it out during this first week, to those who subscribed to my Newsletter, those who registered to the site and those many who took the time to share their views on it via the email - and,  last but most certainly not least, to those who ordered my artwork already! I really appreciate your time and enthusiasm in your response; even if it has been only a week since the Grand Opening and it's therefore way to soon to draw any conclusions, your positive reactions give me even more motivation to go on.

Speaking of which, the works on the website are going on, and today I am very proud to announce that the website's ITALIAN LOCALISATION has been finished, uploaded and is now open to business: if you log in the website from Italy, it should automatically load it; otherwise, you can switch languages using the language switch under the main content block.

Besides the Italian localisation, I have been busy with ironing out some bugs, fixing some mistakes and generally refining the texts (english is not my first language, so that had to be expected!). As well, a Turkish localisation is in the works!

Visitors' feedback and suggestions are invaluable to me in order to make VIERI BOTTAZZINI FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY better and better, so please keep them coming: as you can see, you talk, we listen...!

OK, this is about it for now - stay tuned, more coming soon...

THE WAIT IS OVER, THE WEBSITE GRAND OPENING IS HERE!

OK, today is Shameless Self-Promotion And Marketing Day! Here we go...

Finally, after many long weeks of intense work, the wait is over: my new website, VIERI BOTTAZZINI FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY, is now online and ready for you all to browse and enjoy!

As many of you knows, I have been labouring for quite a while over whether to bring my Fine Art prints business online or not, and eventually what could have been the best way to do it. Once the decision has been made, I have been very excited about it: in fact, I have almost not been able to sleep for more than a month, while working incredibly hard to get it ready by early December; and even if a few days later than I initially hoped, I am very proud to announce its Grand Opening today. Well, the good thing is that now that it is out there, it's too late for any further labouring (some inevitable tuning-up and bug ironing aside): the results are out there for you all to see and judge by yourselves. As always, I would appreciate very much any feedback, comments, suggestions you might have - and, of course, your support and business if you feel so inclined. While we all know how judging prints online is a near impossible feat, I am confident to say that if you liked my images here and on other sites, you'll love the prints: their quality is absolutely wonderful! You might think I am a little biased, I can see that; while I very well may be, being this my brainchild, I just wish you could hold these prints in your hands and see for yourselves. Not a substitute for a real print, but HERE you'll find all the details about my philosophy, my shooting and printing process and more, which could give you an idea of the quality I aim for. More, seeing that Christmas and the holiday season are coming, I thought appropriate to throw a little gift into the mix: until December 24, you can use the coupon below

GO#BLG@FAP12

at checkout to get a nice Grand Opening discount! What's even better, the coupon is valid for any purchase on the website, including our PRINT OF THE MONTH specials.

To go along with the new website, I designed a NEWSLETTER as well; it will go out monthly, and keep you updated with all the news regarding the website such as new uploads, new galleries, the new PRINT OF THE MONTH, a behind-the-scenes tutorial on how that has been done, special deals, general news about photography and more. Oh, and there is a nice sign-up gift coming with it, too! You can SIGN UP HERE if you want, and fear not: as you, I really don't like spam as well, so our MailChimp powered NEWSLETTER comes with a one-click unsubscribe option always available, plus you can be sure I'll not bother you more than once a month :)

So, I think for today this is about it - now, even though I'd like to sleep for a month, is back to work: the website and the Newsletter will be localised in Italian and Turkish soon, new galleries will be uploaded, there are hundreds of photos waiting to be processed... is back business as (busier than) usual from now on!
