Here it is! The result of over 10 years of work and traveling around the world.
This album is my first, beloved child. Heavy, large, and meticulously crafted. Printed on the finest possible paper, which we searched for months around the world to find. The cover is made of canvas, the color of which I couldn't find on ready-made canvases, so I produced my own. It's a selection of exactly 196 photos from over 10 years of my travels around the world.
I present it to you with great stress, but also great pride.
– hard cloth cover – 400 pages of paper dedicated to artistic prints – a selection of 196 photos taken by me with short stories – all photos covered with a special varnish coating – huge format: 24×32 cm
TECHNICAL PROCESS
Ultimately, the entire book was bound on 400 pages of the highest quality, double-sided coated wood-free paper with a matte white finish and exceptional bulk, then bound in a hard, linen binding made of natural materials. Its color is the result of blending and dyeing the materials to achieve a color that perfectly reflects the hue of natural linen. The materials, which took almost a year to assemble for production, were flown in from around the world and visited countless printing houses before we found one capable of printing them to the required quality.
