A little transatlantic protection was required for the A2 and A3 print portfolios, in time for our LA and Palm Springs Photo Festival road trip, with Greenhouse Reps, in a couple of weeks.
Thanks go to Chris Bradley at Packhorse, for his help and advice, and of course to Cathy Robert, who has made my leather bound print portfolios for me for as long as I can remember.
The North Northwest Beginnings show catalogue is available to purchase.
The catalogue is 210mm x 210mm and consists of 24 pages. Each catalogue is signed and dated with the year.
The technical specification was important on this job, as we wanted the finest print quality to echo that of the original work.
The cover is 380 Micron Horizon Pulpboard with embossed artists seal, with interior pages on 200gsm Satimat.
The book was printed using a Sublima hybrid non-uniform dot. The screen resolution is 280 lpi which boasts a higher definition than the 175lpi, normally used by printers.
Images were sampled at 360dpi at the final printed sized to maximise the use of this higher quality printing technique.

Just back from a productive week of shooting personal work in the Glen Orchy and Glen Coe area of the Scottish Highlands. The weather delivered everything that I could have hoped for, Hoar frost, Ice and a timely dump of snow.
Watch this space for the finished imagery (you can subscribe to the blog for update alerts)
In the meantime here’s a ‘behind the scenes’ shot of just one of the set-ups, the River Etive, with what is quite possibly the most photographed mountain in Scotland rising up behind, Buachaille Etive Mòr.
The picture below was made on an iPhone, with a quick pass through Snapseed..

The Gallery 1066 billboard ad for my North Northwest Beginnings show is now up.
Very excited and proud to see my personal work at this size, and in my home town too. A very different feeling to seeing a commissioned ad campaign up in 48 sheet form.
The show runs from April 20th to May 3rd at Gallery 1066 in Baldock, Hertfordshire.

The North Northwest Beginnings show catalogues arrived this morning, and lovely they are too.
The technical specification was important on this job, as we wanted the finest print quality to echo that of the original work.
The cover is 380 Micron Horizon Pulpboard with embossed artists seal, with interior pages on 200gsm Satimat. The book was printed using a Sublima hybrid dot which is not uniform in shape, and the screen resolution is 280 lpi which is a higher definition than the usual 175 lpi, which printers normally use.
Images were saved at 360dpi at the final printed sized (to maximise the use of this higher quality printing technique) and sharpened using PhotoKit Sharpener 2.0
Thanks go to Jamie Milnes for design, and to Dominic Vacher of Four Corners for the printing.
