Promo of the Week: Alyssa Salomon
June 6, 2014
Kat Kiernan
Promotional materials are essential for photographers of all disciplines. Each week we feature an outstanding promo based on its design, cleverness, and ability to accurately reflect the photographer’s aesthetic.
Photographer: Alyssa Salomon Designer: Michael Harl
Due to its tactile nature, alternative process photography often struggles to be accurately reproduced on screen and in print materials. Overcoming these challenges, Alyssa Salomon’s trifold booklet does justice to her original prints. While it would be impossible to replicate their unique quality, this wonderful promo presents her artwork with the intimacy of an artist book and without the commercial slickness of a traditional brochure. Salomon’s contact information is easy to find on the cover, yet is incorporated into the photographs like text on the cover of a novel. The smart trifold design allows a for dynamic look with both vertical and horizontal images.
