Sea, sand, Sky and Street – 2011

Caught by the Tide – 2019

The Two Towns – Coming soon

Designing and producing photography books provides a unique way of presenting a project and also offers a challenge to the photographer. The result can be the perfect blend of image and text in a convenient presentation package. Since 2011 two books, ‘Sea, Sand Sky and Street’ and ‘Caught by the Tide’, have been released with a third book coming very soon that will finish off the iPhone photography book trilogy.

PDF Books

The downloadable photobooks featured here were produced for the Solo Photo Book Month project 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.

A downloadable PDF book offers a fresh, 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 all of the book projects seen on this website stem from that project’s introduction to making a photography book.

Another long term 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.

A third book called ‘Seven Hills‘ featuring street photography and landscape images shot around Edinburgh is also in development.
