ZZYZX by Gregory Halpern uses lyrical photographs made in and around California to trace the original American dream and expansion out West. Halpern’s human approach to portraiture and the street is combined with bucolic and uncanny landscapes, and through a beautiful, delicate sequence this book won widespread acclaim, selling out of two print-runs within three months. Designed by Lewis Chaplin while working as Senior Designer at MACK, Lewis also worked on the edit, all retouching and pre-press with Gregory.
