The Cover
Several months ago I was commissioned to shoot the cover of a new edition book entitled ‘Indigo’ written by Jenny Balfour-Paul and published by the British Museum. The cover was to be reflective of the colour and material that is Indigo but also to stress the nature of both how wide the concept ‘Indigo’ is and to appeal to a younger audience.
The shoot took place at Jenny’s house, where I was bombarded by the possibilities. So much material and so much colour. Myself and Jenny worked through several set ups of different pieces of the material so that the publishers had a greater choice and flexibility with design.
The picture above is the finished cover and is now available for pre-order through the British Museum and online book retailers such as amazon.
