HARDBACK COVER IMAGE

Congratulations to Nigel Halliwell. His picture won universal praise. That said, it was a tough process choosing from so many other good entries.

Aside from being a great picture, what makes Nigel's image particularly well-suited to the hardback edition of DV&S is the way it lends itself to the placing of the title. As the designer and publisher, I wanted the words Vision & Style to be similarly placed to that of Working the Light. A lesson here for all of us: including space when composing a photograph can be useful, both to help balance a picture and also to make it well-suited for publication – as a book jacket, perhaps.

Argentum are still to confirm the softback cover image. I'll report back as soon as I know which picture has been chosen.
