A Closer Look at “The Face of Food” by Adam Horwitz

Adam Horwitz recently submitted a beautifully designed book entitled The Face of Food. This is all around one of the strongest submissions thus far. The cover design is captivating, the page layouts were very clean, strong and focused concept, and, ofcourse, very strong photography. The concept was to document the farmers and their food from the South Shore Farmers Market. The book features documentary style photographs from the farms that Horwitz visited, coupled with Studio Portraits of the food that is eventually for sale at the Farmer’s Market. The book also features poems to accompany some of the photographs as well. This book was very well thought out from concept to design to the photography itself. All around must see book come show time.

A Closer Look at “What Once Was” by Lauren Howie Laur

MIAD studen Lauren Howie Laur recently submitted her beautifully hand crafted Photo BookWhat Once Was.Its a small intimate book that serves as both a photobook and a sculptural art piece in and of itself. The book itself does not close, and instead the covers lay flat on the desk as the pages cascade out in a fan like fashion. The form factor of the book is small, yet the actual photographs themselves force you to get even closer which seems to be very fitting to this personal photo album like book. The photographs themselves are actually photographs of photographs. This will be sure to turn some heads come opening night of the show.

The photo above features a small random selection of recent submissions, however, there are plenty more where this came from. The submissions have been flowing in the past couple of weeks, I will stop by again later this week to photograph another batch.
