A Man Holds a Fish introduces the work of Glenn Busch, a renowned New Zealand photographer known for his raw, human portraits. The design honours his candid approach, with images pressing to the page edges to echo the marginalised subjects he captured. Inspired by Glenn’s darkroom revelation, metallic silver ink adds depth, while subtle blues offset a restrained monochrome palette. The cover remains bare, typography pairs Sabon with Founders Grotesk, and exposed Smythe binding reflects the honesty of the work within. Every detail serves the photographs, creating a book that is quiet, unvarnished, and deeply respectful of its subject and its maker.
