Reflection

REFLECTION represents a lifetime of work by award-winning photographer Heinrich van den Berg, not only behind the camera but as a writer, publisher and thinker. Showcasing not only unforgettable photography but also a ground-breaking design concept and poetic philosophy, REFLECTION is about the elements of change: their challenges, their victories, their intimate links to the natural world. The book's visual progression artfully interweaves these elements - contemplation, preparation, action, relapse, maintenance, royalty, intelligence, balance, joy and strength - with text that transcends the documentary and whose layers run deep. From the striking monochrome and rich texture of contemplation as the genesis of change, the book subtly, incrementally, builds in colour and intensity - through the greys and sepia tones of preparation, action, relapse and maintenance to the dusty, desaturated pinks and carmines of royalty, the pace quickens with each warming colour shift to propel one to the book's triumphant, deep-red end.
