I - a photobook by Greig Clifford

Only sixteen copies made up the first printing run of the soft cover version of I. The photobook is now on its 2nd printing and there is also a limited availability special leatherette hard cover version.

I created the soft cover version of I to be a worthy alternative to the leatherette hard cover version. As the images contained within are so meaningful to me it was important their presentation was of excellent quality. However, I also wanted to make it affordable to as many people as possible and I feel satisfied I've achieved that.

GREIG CLIFFORD - I - soft cover version.

The first thing you'll notice when handling this first printing book is the feel of it... it has a soft to the touch laminated cover that to my mind creates a very slight suede feel. This helps protect the cover from fingerprints, but additionally I think (hope), like suede, it will take on a look that is unique to each owner depending on how it has been handled throughout its life.

The cover uses a heavyweight paper so is not flimsy, and the inner pages are thick enough so each image can be enjoyed without being affected by the image on the reverse of the page.

Copying the leatherette hard cover version, each image is presented the same way with minimal distraction... just a thin border with the title and year created written underneath. In fact all images are printed at the same sizes as the leatherette hard cover version, in the same order, over the same number of pages... 71 images in total. Both versions of the book are sized 21 x 21cm.

The inner pages have a slight sheen to them and are of a neutral white base tone. The print itself does not have a high shine so the overall effect is that of a smooth semi-matt finish.

As previously mentioned, the cover has a soft touch lamination so it reflects light in quite a subtle way too.
