What a great morning here at Mountain Trail Press and Platanus Editions. I just received a package from our printer, which contains the F&Gs for Matt Payne Photography's new book, "The Colorado Way," and the printing looks beautiful.

It’s always a great day to receive and review proofs for a client project. For this project, I am the production manager and print broker. I also provided layout and co-design, separations for the color photos, and created the duotone files for the black and white photos. This book will be printed in 6 color offset. Time to package them up and send them off to for her final approval for offset printing.

I’m reviewing digital proofs for the largest format photobook that I’ve ever printed. It is massive and incredibly beautiful.

It’s not often that you get to work with a photographer that has been a huge influence in your early career. William Neill was one of those photographers that inspired me to buy my first large-format camera in the early 2000s. Fast forward two decades and I find myself reviewing digital color proofs, and foil stamping and debossing proofs for his forthcoming book, Yosemite - Sanctuary in Stone. I’m honored to be producing this beautiful new book.

Reviewing and approving color proofs are the final steps before going on press. These look amazing so off to for approval.
