About

Printed with ultraviolet ink in a hand-numbered, slipcased edition of 1,000 copies, 'Color' is the first monograph by British photographer Ben Hassett. In keeping with his acute sense of the powerful language of color photography, Hassett invites us into his world of constant photographic experimentation and to experience the possibilities of this chromatic medium. 'Color' draws together Hassett’s iconic fashion and beauty images, studio still-lifes, abstract in-camera works, and landscape photographs to create his unique lexicon of color photography. By putting aside the conventions of chronological and project-by-project sequencing, a dynamic reading that surveys the past ten years of Hassett’s standing as an influential image-maker comes into play. 'Color' brings us into close proximity to the essence of this artist’s creative practices and photographic fascinations. This book is designed by veteran art and creative director Fabien Baron and includes an essay by renowned curator and writer Charlotte Cotton.
