An A4, softcover wire-bound book of painted landscapes by Jon Hodgson (artist for Warhammer Historical, The One Ring Roleplaying Game, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay). The book is intended to be a tool for miniature painters who want high quality, thematic backdrops to use when photographing their miniatures and models.
A collection of 32 Fantasy Ruins and Tunnels backdrops for your miniatures photography in the A4 size.
In this book you’ll find 32 hand-painted landscapes professionally-printed and wiro bound into a practical book to use as backdrops for your photographs.
The book itself is A4 in size, in full colour (of course!). The pages are the heaviest stock we can source, coming in at 200gsm. Do note though, that this is not a board book. The pages are heavy paper, but paper nonetheless. The covers are a heavier stock to protect those pages, and give the book some extra resilience.
The pages have a silk finish, which balances depth of colour and fidelity of printing with a reasonably low amount of reflectiveness.
The binding is a “wiro” style binding – a metal spiral that runs up one of the short sides of the book. This lets the cover and pages fold right back on themselves, staying flat and open to form the backdrop for your photos.
In these new books we will also include a number of portrait format pages, so you can photograph taller models by using the book sideways.
Jon Hodgson: "Like a lot of folks, I grew tired of photographing my miniatures against a boring blue board. I tried using landscape photographs, but it made my miniatures and scenery look weirdly stylised and out of place. As an illustrator, with a lot of landscape paintings on hand, it was a natural step to print some paintings and use them as backdrops. And it worked!"
