Forbeyon is the album company I use for my albums. I have been with them for about 2 years and I have not turn back. The work they produce it’s just priceless. For 2009 they wanted us to create a catalog like no other. So, we came up with a lifestyle for them. Which, it stands for high dinning. A lifestyle of luxury is what Forbeyon is all about. Forbeyon is one of the companies that stands for “Perfect” that’s right they will go out of there way to produce the perfect album for you and your client. Forbeyon is a must for ever photographer out there that wants the high dinning experience. The images below our examples that we created for them with the feel of high dinning. By the way give them a try. Let them know BenQ sent you:) I’ll even give you a name, ask for “Casey”.
By the way check out designer slipcovers by ChrysQ for Forbeyon. What!:)
The year is about to end it’s been a great year for Ben Quintanilla Photography. Thanks to all my clients that make it happened. Here are just a few pointers that has happened here with Ben.
* The awesome sponsorship from Forbeyon Studios in Dallas, Texas. This really allows me to offer my clients amazing products that no one else in the market will have!
* RangeFinder Magazine features me and my 20×8 studio sample in an ad. I finally get to be in front of the camera!
* Professional Photographer Magazine features an awesome image I took that also…
* won me 1st place at my first Dallas Professional Photographer’s Association meeting. The image was also featured in the 2008 Forbeyon catalog as the cover shot.
* Whole Foods Market in Arlington feature a gallery of my images in their cafe section. Now everytime you eat at Whole Foods you can sit by pretty art!
* My wife, ChrysQ, starts up her business in October with huge success and a great response in the industry. I get to shoot all the images for her catalog and site. WooHoo!
* Forbeyon Studios names a design style after BenQ. Clients who have seen my work can now get a similar style with the Forbeyon design team.
* Forbeyon chooses us to shoot and design their 2009 catalog. The BEST looking one yet!

By the way I have updated my site for 2009. Pretty excited about that. Sorry, One more thing it’s about that time for ChrysQ Slipcovers. The New Winter Line 09 will be up this New Years and it’s going to be one of the best ever for our albums. Here below is a sneak peek on whats to come for ChrysQ.
How excited we are. BenQ is now featured at our favorite store - Whole Foods in Arlington, Texas. We are featured alongside an up and coming photog and we couldn’t be more excited. Here is what you would see, but I recommend going in person if you live in DFW…
My head has been spinning for some time. Get ready for next year..we are going to go full force in the photography industry . We had been taking it pretty slow as I was invited by Forbeyon to give a style like no other. They really loved the way I used my images for my albums that i offer to my clients. I have been in the process of training the designers at Forbeyon on how to capture a mood in photography and design. The spreads below are on what I have been working for months now. Explaining the process on the New Design Style that going to be offer to others in the photography industry. Been pushing really hard on presentation on the type of products I give to my brides. Really pushing on identity into album design. The album design industry is really stating to look the same in ever way. From layouts to covers. My goal is to give the drive too Forbeyon on becoming the best ever design company in the world for photographers. Yay!
Hey, just wanted to share some press we’ve gotten. So excited about getting the word spread out about Ben Q Photography! The first is an article in Professional Photography. Forbeyon studios used an image I took of the special album I created for brides. This image also won me an first place award at a DPPA meeting.
This next one was an advertisement in RangeFinder magazine for Forbeyon. I was the first photographer they chose to endorse their wonderful products. This created a lot of buzz here for me locally and it was a success for both of us. I’m really excited about the direction next year is taking us in. If you like what we do, spread the word! Thanks!
Its been a long road with a face that I really wanted for BenQ Photography. Its finally here. YESSSS! I’m very excited. I wanted a look that would really inspire me and most important others as well. So, here it is the image above. Let me explain the details for this BenQ Inspired.
Why in a Box!
It’s God’s will for my life. If i’m out of the box it means nothing for my life. This box here is purpose as I live here in this earth. Great Things will happen as I stay in this Box for my life … Same will happen to you if you stay in your Box. You know we only live once here on this world. I really want to be the best of it…..HOW! by being in GOD’s will in my life. What is it if I gain the whole world and lose my soul. What I’m say is that. You do not want to waste your life for things that dont even matter. If I look back when I’m 50 of age and say to myself that I have wasted 50 years of my life for….I dont even know. So, purpose is everything in our lives. Do something that really means alot to you and your family as well….So, lets inspired others with the LOVE of GOD.
What’s the deal with the center line with a dot at the end?
Great question you ask. Its my life from the begin to the end. Note the dot here at the end of this line is my finished line. Great Rejoicing will happen here. Because I will have finished this great race here on this earth . And I know its going to be a choice making decision life style on a day to day living. But I know it will happen with my GOD on my side.
Why BenQ Inspired?
Love that question. Its very simple which means that I get my inspiration by my Lord Jesus Christ. Keeping the faith and love to others….Because no matter what I do and love doing it. People will get inspired not because of me…its who lives inside of me. Treat people with Love. Its what I really try hard to show to others. The more I do it the more my work shines. Well, I hope you get the idea of the new logo for my business means as a owner. Thanks guy’s for reading this and I hope that you all get BenQ Inspired like I did.
