Testimonials

Simone Hanckel

I don’t keep it a secret that I’m a passionate advocate of a photographic print. There is just nothing like handing your client a print that will, one day, be discovered and cherished by one of their great grandkids. Over the years I’ve run through all of the options, from using film and getting my photographs hand printed, to printing my own, to eventually coming to a point where I’ve realised that there are very talented and dedicated people who will happily, and lovingly, take that off my hands to free me up to develop my business further.

Printing a photograph is such an art. I’ve learnt a lot about printing my own work in the last few years, but I’m well aware of how little I actually know. My main concern has always been in consistency for my clients. Matching a black and white print to a one I sold to a client with their last photo shoot can be a tricky business. So, getting to talk to Paul, David and the rest of the Atkins crew has helped reassure me that they fully understand and will help me achieve this. It’s simple really, and ultimately comes down to paper choices, custom profiles etc, but the knowledge that they will help me create the highest quality products has helped me make this transition more easily.

The best part of using Atkins to print my work is that I get to make an amazing relationship with a fantastic vendor. I’ve always tried to use local businesses so that I can build a relationship in order to create a beautifully crafted and personalised product line. I love that I can come in with a germ of an idea and have it developed into something stunning that will make my clients gasp when I show them. In running a business with an artisan quality touch to everything, this means I can offer tradition and integrity and at the same time, keep current and innovative.

After seeing what Atkins did with the photos I did for them for their stall at The AIPP Event, I’m inspired, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll create together in the future.

Many Thanks to Paul from AtkinsTechnicolour, Australia’s leading Colour Laboratory and supplier of high quality products to PPP’s (that’s Proper Professional Photographers)

My group of training photographers who visited yesterday were literally gobsmacked with the degree of skill and experience of the staff who work to produce consistently high quality photographic images for us to proudly and confidently present to our clients.

I decided over 30 years ago to team up with a Lab supplier whose work I didn’t have to apologise for and could confidently guarantee with my own name.

It’s one less thing to worry about when you know you’re getting consistent quality from the experts in our profession and I can concentrate on the sales.

Norman Weedall.

Atkins printed some really large prints for a Seminar program. We were really amazed with the quality printing. Paul and the team have  always been extremely helpful in our dealings with them.

InfocusNT has been associated with Atkins for over 12 years ago when they were one of the first companies to install the Kodak LED Printer. The 3000km distance between our studio in Darwin and Atkins lab in Adelaide has never been an issue, with the digital files being sent one day and us receiving the photographic prints the following. We have always been more than happy with their products, service and support.

I began hearing good things about Atkins Technicolour long before I started using their services. I figured I was already using a well known lab, there was unlikely to be any advantage in changing.

Eventually however, I  made that change, nervously sending my first rolls of film to Atkins for processing and proofing. That was over 15 years ago, today the vast majority of our lab work goes to Atkins, our method of delivery changing from sending rolls of film by courier, to online delivery of digital files.

Over all those years, some things haven’t changed at all. When I need to call the lab, the phone is always answered by friendly, helpful members of the Atkins Technicolour team. People who know me by name, who are dedicated to, not only producing great prints and customer service but have this amazing “can do” attitude.

Atkins Technicolour  is only 4 hours drive from our studio, making them the closest professional processing facility to us.  That of course is not why we use them daily, it wouldn’t matter to us if they were on the other side of the country.

Atikins Technicolour quality services, speedy delivery,  helpful advice and in depth knowledge and understanding of our industry makes them one our strongest and most important business partners.

Those of us who have survived the turmoil of the last decade in photography know the importance of partnering with  a great lab, one with a strong history and one that is constantly looking to the future for business opportunities, products and  trends.

Having Atkins Technicolour as our processing lab, is like have our own lab right here in the studio. Actually, it’s better than that, because we’ve been there and done that.

A Woman’s Touch Photography has had a business relationship with Atkins Technicolour since 1994 when we first moved to Western Australia and not knowing any photographic labs here in the West a colleague from NSW recommended we give Atkins Technicolour a go.  At first I was reluctant because they are in SA and we are WA, but this did not prove to be a problem.

It has been a pleasure doing business with Atkins, especially during the transition from film to digital where I, like many photographers, was struggling with this new concept.  Nothing seemed to be a problem to John and Paul, they were always willing to give advice and assistance wherever they could.

The quality of the printing and service is of an extremely high standard and are they ready to put in the extra effort for those last minute urgent jobs with a “smile.”

I enjoy catching up with John and Paul at photographic conferences and seminars.  My husband and I have also enjoyed a few luncheon dates with John and his wife Marilyn when they have visited Perth.

A Woman’s Touch looks forward to many years of association with Atkins Technicolour.
