"Animal Portraits" Collection
I'm still working on gathering a collection of my animal portraits to make into a printed press album. I've been working on it for a bit now and it's starting to look great. I've had a hard time accepting compliments on some of my photos because I always nitpicked that something could be better. However, compiling this collection has really made me see the beauty in them and I'm so happy with how it's turning out!
I'm very much looking forward to completing it. It will be an approx 18-22 image 11x14 hard cover bound book complete with custom cover and cover sleeve (optional). I doubt anyone else will want one aside from myself, but a limited number will be available for sale. Note me know if you are interested!
