Image Photography was formed during August 2010 when playing with a simple studio, being at full perms and realising that maybe rather re designing its looks, i could design and create my own. Luckily at the time i knew a friend who was a scripter, Rachel Meness, who helped me script my simple studios that had basic operations and a simple posestand. I opened a small store to house them in on display and i began to earn a good few thousand lindens a week to my delight. The introduction of advertising them on xstreet gave me more funds and i began to look into other items i could produce to sell and feed my eager of a business that seemed to be working.
With a little research, i found there was stiff competition around in second life and some builds really did look the part, and i decided i really needed to up my machines to compete with these other suppliers. Sadly i hit a stumbling block, as some ideas i had, my scripter found it hard to figure out how to make them and work. So with a long hard look around second life i was very fortunate to stumble across a person named Grandma Bates! this person exceeded my ideas and when she understood what my business plan was she gave me inputs of ideas i could not even come up with. I had found a gem of a scripter, even working for linden lab themselves, i set about building my skills in photoshop and tweaking my builds. We have produced some fantastic items, some which are unique to second life, which others i have noticed have tried to follow and use our ideas we have come up with. Feedback from customers has been outstanding and we have used there input for ideas to update any machines we have made and for there benefits, all our updates are free for life. One idea that has rocked peoples attention in SL is the way we use pose anims movement making any single anim into a couple or group pose! Avatars have enjoyed the freedom of making up there own photoshoots with this idea rather then being stuck with the boring poseballs which only allows the same pose each time. But not with the truly marvelous idea, of Grandma, to invent the idea of having full control movement of any anim, and to also implement it into our pose stands too. I had a avatar contact me to name me my price for the script of this amazing idea and i sensibly turned it down, as it has been the key to all studios and posestands in the Image Photography business. The Company is now a leading supplier of photography equipment in Second Life and is recognised through word and mouth, people wanting to blogg the Image Company, and through researching, finding there is no other studios out there that really do compete and give outstanding results. Market street has produced amazing results from sales ad  hope it continues long this path.
September 2012 was the release of a Mesh studio "Meshudio" which took 6 months of designing and calculations, and in this package, we wanted to create the superior of all studios. From as many features you could think of, to being able to completely re sizing the studio to how ever big you want it to be to accomodate the unlimited avatar posing on the machine. The studio was a instant hit, even with the hefty price tag, and for the amazing features it has it came with a low prim land impact count.
Christmas 2012 will see the new release of another mesh studio, and again, it will pose a unique posing system which has not been developed in second life to move forward into a next generation of movement control away from the click buttons and move method.
We thrive on a friendly customer service and to produce the best equipment for those paying customers in second life and to be up there with the best. As one Avatar said in there compliments to us was "Xia Firethorn: SL photographers  NEED you" which i feel sums this company up in one!
