The Secret Garden was a childhood favorite of mine, and reminds me of the time I spent building forts in the woods or hiding away in nature. The book cover was not digital manipulated, and was taken as a single shot. The photo involves a large set of leaves placed atop a lightbox. The letters are stamped into the hasta leaf with lead type from the letterpress. The lightbox is illuminating the impressions of the type to create the title. I wanted to encapsulate that nostalgic feeling from when I was younger, a soft, comforting atmosphere secreted away from the real world.
