Every Object

A catalogue for an art collector of unusual and rare items from around the world.


Solution

‘Noble silence’. The objects were so majestic that they spoke for themselves. Photographs were taken with diffused lighting against a soft grey background – the horizon line running at the same height throughout to maintain stillness. An excellent felt-marked uncoated paper in off-white meant that the print result retained all the details but with a lovely soft quality.
