Description

Ezekiel’s Horse is not merely a collection of horse photography, it is a body of fine art work roughly organized around the theme of horses. I wanted the book’s design to reflect this change in photographer Keith Carter’s vision from documentary to art photography and the fact that this is not your run-of-the-mill collection of horse pictures. The book was designed to have a cutting-edge sensibility that would communicate visually that this was a book of art.
