Cowbelly Custom Creative: Photobook

New to the line of Cowbelly Custom Creative products, which now includes stretched canvas photographs, modern dog art, greeting cards and gift products, I have added a new and improved custom hardback photobook. (Note: this is a replacement for the book offered from 2006-2007).

This book is no ordinary book. It is a supremely high quality, full-color, full page spread, heavy, thick-paged gorgeous wonder.

And the most incredible thing about it? It's completely customized, with photographs, text, graphics, you name it.

The book is available for any Cowbelly photography client to purchase with up to 35 of their favorite Cowbelly photos of their pup and/or kitty, and comes in 3 different sizes and prices.

Images and words don't do this book justice, but here is my attempt to capture it visually:

Each book comes in a beautiful black box.


Instead of a removable cover the new book has a fully integrated laminated wrap-around cover that goes over the binding across the back. A very dramatic way to display a beautiful wide angle panorama like this summery shot of Lulu.




The wrap-around cover is completely covered on the inside cover at both the front and back of the book.


The Cowbelly logo on the back. No barcodes or other distractions.


My studio sample seen pictured here is 45 pages, the maximum number, and is very thick and heavy. It could double as a doorstop. (note: client books are only available with up to 20 pages/35 images)







The first page inside the book; can be customized with a photo or text and graphics.


An example of a full-page spread. The photo doesn't do the spreads justice, they are simply stunning.


Close-up of spread. No part of the image is lost in the binding, which means you see 100% of your pooch or kitty's handsome face.


Vivid colors and details. I think the prints in this book are better than any other prints I have ever seen.








Images can either be borderless, or have white or color borders of any size.






Images can either be color or black and white or a combination of both.


The book isn't just for dogs- cats look great in it too like Seamus here.




A shot of the new book next to the old book. The old book had a removable cover, and thinner pages, no full-page spreads or high-end printing, and was a much less substantial book. The new book is a huge improvement, IMHO.

To my photographer friends who are at the WPPI show this week (thanks Debbie for the pass, wish I could be there!), stop by the vendor booth to see a sample of my book- the same one as in this blog. Which vendor? It's a secret but you'll know it when you see it!

Questions about the books? Please email me to discuss.

Thanks Melissa!

The event was great! I had two keeshounds and a pug (my fave of course). Wait till you see the shots of the keesies in front of the purple EMP wall. We were all drooling. I could just live there in front of that purple wall it is so purty.

I also captured a first for me- both keeshounds licking their noses at the same time- whoopee! :-)

Oh yes, and wait till you see the pug. I got an ears-flying running through the grass shot that I think Mr. Emmitt will appreciate.
