Circus Work - limited to 40 copies.

I have been photographing circus performers for many years. I generally just approach a circus when it arrives at a town and ask if I can photograph the performers, and I try to use the area outside the big top as a backdrop. There is something resolutely rugged and everyday about those areas, in contrast to what happens inside.

All the portraits were shot on Kodak Tri -X with my Hasselblad 500CM and an 80mm lens.

I've put together a soft cover book of forty one of my circus portraits (including the cover).
The book has a handmade feel, with a tipped-in print on the cover, and is numbered and signed on the inside page. I have titled and signed the cover by hand.

The book is 21.9 x 14.9 cm, made of 40 pages with a beige cover and a grey spine, with a very slightly warm paper stock that is 115gsm.
