Coffee Table Books
Frames
Coffee table books are all the rage at the moment and it’s not difficult to see why. They are popular because they are a modern, elegant and yet thoroughly accessible means of telling a story in images. Personally I can’t get enough of them. The trouble for me was finding the right type of coffee table book. There seemed to be hundreds out there to choose from, though most of them were in my opinion, not quite good enough. Either the paper was not up to scratch, the pages were too thin, the colours looked drab, the binding wasn’t great or the overall build finish was not quite on the money. I wanted to have the very best of everything right across the board. The finest print quality. The very best in binding with complete image cover wraps. The most fabulous lush, tactile paper imaginable with full page bleed. I spent months scouring the planet for the PERFECT coffee table book and then I chanced upon my dream book. This is going to sound like hyperbole, but this is the absolute truth in my humble opinion. These coffee table books are probably the finest anywhere on the planet. They are exclusively hand bound and use only the very highest grade 450gsm fine art, museum quality paper from Hahnemühle. The paper has a velvet like finish that is soft to the touch and the photographs actually pop off the page. The binding lays flat, the panoramic spreads have no cuts and a single photograph can wrap across front and back cover. They are contemporary, they are sleek and since I introduced them only very recently, clients just go ga-ga for them. My photographs do not do the books justice. To fully appreciate one, you need to see one in the flesh. Then prepare to be in awe. This will sound like hyperbole, but they are without doubt the finest coffee table books on the planet and if World’s Top 5 wedding photographer Jonas Peterson uses them, they must quite good.
