We admire the concept behind this book, and the effort it took to create. It is a unique book of love! As Jess roamed the world she asked people to confirm her expressions of love for Jordan, then turned them into a book as a gift for their wedding day. Enter your book by ticking the competition box when placing your next order. All winners displayed in Inspiration > Best Books Gallery

*** @anzphotobookaward FINALIST *** ‘The Man from Apophenia’ self published by David Symons aka @sym0nster Symons is fascinated by the way photography sits on the edge of the real and imagined, so it is no surprise that apophenia, the condition where human's perceive connections between unrelated things, is the driving force behind this book. He couples images that are reminiscent of the film noir and police evidence photos, with a low-voltage current of psychoanalytical and surrealist themes, to create a narrative of unreliable evidence. The reader is left wondering, looking for patterns, connections and meanings, and in doing so their biases, fears, and delusions shape the reading of the work and may lead to false conclusions. ———————————————————————-This is 1 of 12 finalists in the 2019 Australia & New Zealand Photobook Award. The winner will be announced on 6 March at @photobooknz. Our judging panel included: @annshelton_, Angel Luis Gonzalez from @photoireland, Scott Bundy from @bundyagency, @rachelknepfer + Claire Murdoch from @random house NZ.
