Glimpses – A Unique Look

Three Hand-Made Artist's Books
by Ian Leake

I’d been planning to make a series of handmade artist’s books of prints for a while, but unfortunately I hadn’t got past making a proof of concept. So when Patrick Kolb invited me to submit some work for this Photo Continuum show, I leapt at the chance to finish my book project.

My objective was to share a personal selection from my “Glimpses” portfolio, a body of work which I’ve been building for several years. Each Glimpse is a close up detail of someone’s body, a beautiful picture but also a portrait.

There are three books in the series, each with between seven and nine 4x5” platinum contact prints. I’d love to hear from you about what you think and how you feel about these photographs. You can contact me through my website.
