At Ex Why Zed, we take immense pleasure in breathing life into the visions of creative minds. One such exhilarating project was Michal Augustini’s hardback photography book, “First Three No Flash.” An exploration into the world of music, culture, and art, Augustini’s work encapsulates moments of raw, authentic connection
“The photographs taken by you of the artists shall only be taken during the first three songs performed and shall only be taken without flash”.
Michal Augustini, Slovak-born and London-based, has made a name for himself as a lifestyle photographer with an affinity for capturing iconic moments connected to music, sports, and culture. His profound excitement in forming authentic connections results in vibrant, captivating imagery that enhances individuals and creative expressions. Augustini’s work has been featured in leading international publications including Rolling Stone, NME, The Guardian, Independent, Variety, Vulture, Cosmopolitan, and many others.
First Three No Flash is not just a hardback book; it’s a timeless collection of iconic live show images from the last seven years. The sheer elegance of this photography book printing project, with its custom size of 258x210mm, and the high-quality print onto 150gsm silk, make it a treasure trove for any photography enthusiast. The black gloss foil on G F Smith Colorplan Ebony cover is as visually stunning a sight as there is to see in the world of print, perfectly reflecting the atmospheric colours captured during the concerts.
At Ex Why Zed, we understand the intricacies of publishing a book and the importance of maintaining the integrity of an artist’s vision. We have a history of producing exceptional projects like Shoreline by David Southern, Bohemia – Willem Jaspert Hardback Photography Book, and Living Lockdown by Sean Mcdonnell, each with its unique charm and appeal.
Ex Why Zed: A Hub for Creative Expression
Ex Why Zed has a rich history of bringing to life numerous creative projects. Just like “First Three No Flash”, each of our projects has a unique appeal and charm.
The music zine “Emma Viola Issue” beautifully captures the essence of music, just like Augustini’s book. The sports photography book “No Hands – Ryu Voelkel” reflects the same vibrancy and connection we aimed for in “First Three No Flash.”
Our work on “2009-2019: A Decade in Music Photography by Josh Jordan” and the skate zine “Do I Look Like I Care” are other noteworthy projects that reflect our commitment to quality and creativity in hardback photography printing.
First Three No Flash is an outstanding testament to the possibilities of hardback photography printing. It serves as a great example of how we at Ex Why Zed can help transform your creative visions into tangible masterpieces. No matter the complexity of your project, our UK book printing services are designed to provide you with the best results.
