“Having gorgeous book covers means it’s really easy to take photos of them.” – SkyNation Publishing

That it does! Some of my proudest (and most complex!) work has been for SkyNation Publishing. And it is always such a thrill to see these books get the love and attention and care they deserve.

It’s also fun to get a sneak peak behind the curtains!

This week SkyNation posted the above image showing their process for creating new product shots of their books for their website.

While mock-ups can be great, nothing honestly beats real photographs.

Especially in today’s age when everything seems to have this uncanny gloss to it thanks to—sometimes unconsented!—ANI diffusion filters.

The end result is really something nifty.

Also can we take a moment to just appreciate how snazzy this special glitter edition of Stars Apart is? Glorious.

SkyNation is a Brisbane-Based Australian small press. You can purchase their books here.
