I am a professional photographer with some very expensive equipment. I was tired of processing photo orders and had never intended buying a computer with all the frustrations they seem to give, but 'I knew a man who could' totally resolve my problems and what a wonderful site purpleplanet has built for me.

I can now concentrate on taking photographs and purpleplanet keep an eye on the order flow, since the process is totally automated from order to payment. Just wonderful!

Christopher Fear started photography over 60 years ago, when he began using his father's "Box Brownie" camera. Over the years, Christopher has contributed to such magazines as 'Horse and Hound', 'Eventing', 'Polo Times', 'Polo Quarterly' and, as a freelance photographer, he regularly provides horse sporting pictures to his local newspaper, the 'Wiltshire and Gloucestershire Standard'.

Christopher determined the need for a website, designed and realised by purpleplanet, to further advertise his services and sell his pictures. The VirtueMart component was utilised with the Joomla! CMS, in order to provide a seamless integration of website and shop. The result is a website that best displays the images he has captured and allows visitors to purchase his pictures, in various sizes, using PayPal.

The following tools were utilised in the creation of this website:

• Adobe Photoshop
• Joomla! Content Management System
• VirtueMart eCommerce component for Joomla!
• PHP
• Coda
