PHOTOGRAPHY
IT’S ALL ABOUT BEING IN THE BOOK For Eastway and Evans, there's something magical about the way a book involves the reader, the expectations as you turn each page, the excitement and surprise as you look at amazing photograph after amazing photograph. And for the photographers, seeing your work printed in a real book, is what drives Eastway and Evans to organise and publish the International Landscape Photographer of the Year award. Said Eastway, "Recently I was at a trade show, visiting the Momento Pro stand. Over on one of their tables was a large, A3 book with thick, sumptuous pages open on some of the most amazing landscape photographs I had ever seen. Curious, I walked a little closer, feeling that I recognised the photos - and of course I did! It was the latest version of the 2016 International Landscape Photographer of the Year book as presented to the two major winners, each page perfectly printed with a high-end Epson printer, lovingly hand bound by Momento Pro's own craftspeople. But what really sang to me was the quality of the photos, each enhanced by the quality of ink on paper, something that doesn't translate nearly so well in an online environment." “There’s something wonderful about a book, the weight of its covers, the feel of the paper as you turn the pages, the excitement and surprise as you look at amazing photograph after amazing photograph. We know our previous winners who received a book were really impressed, so this remains our vision: to create a landscape photography publication that is so beautiful, every serious landscape photographer in the world will want to be involved. And with our elite judging panel of established and esteemed judges, the International Landscape Photographer of the Year awards book will have a distinctive authority."
