Some more tearsheets from photographer Ben Roberts. Ben has contributed to three issues of my photography magazine, DayFour, including the cover for You Can’t Always Get What You Want (top). His story, Stop/Go featured in The New Constellations. I love the smart and witty way he photographed the printed books – and those shoots look better than ever.
Photographer Ben Roberts has come up with a clever and witty way to present tear sheets on his website (with the assistance of west London’s premier hand model, Sunny.) I commissioned him to shoot this story on composer Nitin Sawhney while I was art director of Phillips de Pury. In 2009, the company started running themed auctions of contemporary art, and this was to coincide with the inaugural “Music” sale in London. I love that the PdP book is so big that the portrait is almost the size of Sunny’s body. benrobertsphotography.com
