WHITE PRESS
WHITE PRESS
The design for White Press’ custom-made photographic artists’ books takes its cue from photography; these books are published so that photographers can make their work available to a wider audience—since both media, photography and print are made to be reproduced. According to Helge Schlaghecke, publisher and designer for White Press: “Using the most delicate papers and materials, binding the books by hand, little irregularities are inevitable and not to be considered as a defect. These aberrations let your book stand out as a unique object.” White Press collaborates with artists such as Koji Onaka, Annabelle Fürstenau and Janko Woltersmann.
