LA1 by Matthew Fleming: A Photobook Journey Through Lancaster ????????
Matthew Fleming, a talented photographer hailing from Blackburn, Lancashire, has always had a passion for capturing the world around him. From a young age, he began working seriously on his craft, and in 2021, he embarked on his professional photography career. Now based in the North West of England, Matthew has been creating captivating visual narratives, one of which is the photobook titled “LA1”. This book, printed by Ex Why Zed, is a dark, moody, yet gloriously uplifting photographic journey through Lancaster, a city rich in history and culture.
The LA1 photobook is a testament to Matthew’s keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of a place through his lens. It’s a collection of black and white photos, each telling a unique story about Lancaster. The book is printed on 130gsm Silk, giving the images a smooth finish and adding extra punch to the black and white photos. The slightly thinner than normal, 200gsm cover, allows it to open effortlessly, making it a pleasure to flip through.
“The book looks and feels fantastic – you’ve done a crazily good job with it”.
