MANUAL is a response to “relentlessly risk averse” methods of employing creativity; conceived as a platform “to provide fellow creatives an opportunity to create with impunity”. Along with the direction and design of MANUAL, my background in producing printed publications guided a well considered plan for completing the project.

“The culmination of a year-long, collaborative photography project, MANUAL is a 160-page, hardcover book featuring the work of 12 photographers commissioned to create small bodies of work surrounding individual experiences with a single skateboard.” — Jake Eshelman, Side Project Skateboards
