Cyclephotos cyclocross photo annuals
During my freelance photography years, I've built an involved and loyal following. After every season, I've put together a coffee table album — a tangible memory of the season, 260 pages of cyclocross goodness. I selected my best photos, invited talented writers to contribute interesting articles, designed the book and then laid it all out in InDesign.
The concept for this book was born out of a desire to see the city stripped of its primary function: the movement of people. We spent three months shooting between 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM.
The design reflects this quietness. We utilized a stark monochromatic palette and generous negative space to let the images breathe on the page.
The final deliverable was a 200-page hardcover book, printed on uncoated Munken paper to retain a tactile, gritty feel consistent with the urban subject matter.
