When working in smaller numbers, we can use different binding methods to fit your project. Making sure that the binding works best for your photography. We also do 1/1 sessions where you can learn to bind your own book, giving it that real artist book touch.
DESIGN THAT SUPPORTS THE WORK
We love working with photographers on ideas for books. Using the book or zine design to add play full editions to the work and trying out ideas that might not be possible on a larger press.
