The Alec Gill Hessle road photo archive

A photobook with a dynamic visual flow in reference to Alec Gill's spontaneous approach to documenting the community. Browsing through the book mirrors the way Alec discovered moments to capture as he wandered through the streets. We divide the book into three main sections with different paper stocks and six pantones. We chose swiss binding with a soft cover for a comfortable reading experience and full visibility of the images which were printed duotone to add more depth. The use of typography adds a contemporary feel in contrast to the 50-year-old rescued negatives.

Photobook 212 x 275 mm. Softcover Swiss bound with exposed blue thread mirroring the colour of the opening spreads and annotations through the main photo section. This blue is in reference to one of Alec's archival notebooks. Printed Offset Lithography. Transparent foil blocking on cover and spine. Front flap in the cover.
