The Art of Ordinary

For those of you who enjoy photobooks I have just published a small photo book called The Art of Ordinary.  The idea behind the book is to consider the notion of beauty, goodness and truth in simple, everyday scenes. For instance, can beauty be found in the banal? Can the straight photograph portray beauty, goodness and truth? The book seeks to challenge the viewer to consider what lies at the heart of beauty.

An excerpt from the book:
"...surely it is impossible to deny the shining light of beauty - the beauty that serves man by offering us an invitation to reconcile with life"

Printed on digital offset as a run of 30 x A5 booklets, signed and numbered, 32 pp,  29 black and white photographs, on Munken 130gsm satin stock with a Munken 300gsm satin cover.
