Solo Photo Book Month
Three downloadable PDF photography books were produced for the Solo Photo Book Month project between 2009 to 2011 where the goal was to shoot, edit and create a PDF photo book containing 35+ images in the space of 31 days.
It was a challenging project on a number of levels and a great introduction to creating, developing and using the photography book format. Design, layout, text, order and use of the photographs are just some of the considerations that have to take into account.
The downloadable PDF photography book provides a concise, and yet familiar, way of presenting information to the viewer. Events, projects and ideas can be laid out in text, photographs and illustrations giving a one-document solution to presentations that can be easily distributed and viewed whenever the viewer wishes to.
Each book was different and had its own challenges that needed to be overcome, but the immense satisfaction that a finished book gives is unbeatable. Sadly, the Solo Photo Book Month Project closed for good in 2011, but the legacy of those book projects seen on this website stem from that project’s introduction to making a photography book.

Several book publishing projects are currently in development including a long-delayed retrospective look back over ten years of photography from the Norfolk project. Another long-term photography book being developed will feature images taken on the Isle of Skye and around the Highlands of Scotland. The book will bring together over ten years of photographs shot across the Highlands and Islands.
