British photographer Glen Luchford presents a concise and carefully produced photographic publication, published by Dashwood Books, New York, in 2013 as part of the publisher's ongoing engagement with contemporary photography and artist-led bookmaking.

Known for a photographic language that moves between fashion, portraiture, and a more atmospheric form of visual narrative, Luchford's work is characterized by its attention to mood, gesture, and the psychological charge of the image. His photographs often resist the polished neutrality of conventional fashion imagery, allowing ambiguity, intimacy, and a sense of narrative tension to occupy the frame.

This limited first edition brings together 60 pages of duotone plates, printed in Iceland by Oddi Printing, in a compact softcover format with stapled wrappers. The restrained production emphasizes the relationship between sequence and image, allowing the photographs to unfold as a tightly edited visual statement.

Designed and creatively directed by DJA, with series creative direction by Waterhouse NYC, the publication reflects a collaborative approach in which photography, graphic design, and editorial structure operate as a unified whole.

Limited to 1,000 copies, this first edition is a concise example of the independent photobook as an intimate, materially considered object one that privileges atmosphere, sequencing, and the physical experience of the printed image.
