Simon Whitten of SMW Photography has an interesting perspective on timelessness. He says the albums he’s designing today should have looked current ten or twenty years ago, not just years into the future. That’s the real test of timelessness, he says.
That philosophy underlies his approach to album design – simple and uncluttered.
We’ve featured Simon’s work on Queensberry Connects before, but we grabbed this album for the beautifully simple design and the thought behind it …
He created a 14×10 Duo album for clients Charlotte and James and also made a stunning 18×10 Silk display sample for the studio.
Simon says, “An album for me is simply a device for presentation and preservation. Its design, through its simplicity, should enhance the images.”
Cheers, Nigel

I love that definition of timelessness. A good principle to keep in mind.
