INTRODUCTION In this book you will find 400 photographs that have been painstakingly selected from photographic libraries and from the personal archives of individual photographers.The images date from the very beginning of photography right up to the present day. Images have been chosen for this collection because they are evocative, memorable, light hearted or just rather peculiar. Many celebrate great sporting events, others document fashions of the day, some simply capture a moment of fun or frivolity. Like all art, these outstanding photographic images generate an emotional response. Each photograph, however subtly, will convey a specific mood to the viewer that can in turn be used to enhance or create the desired mood within a room. The subjects of this book have been gathered together into categories: from serene seascapes to sophisticated Hollywood heart-throbs. An overview reveals that many of the images are from the 1950s, reflecting a golden age in both photography and in society in general. The locations of the images vary, but again, there is a preponderance of images from the UK and America. Images of surfers and water-skiers off the coast of Miami and Santa Monica conjure up a feeling of how carefree things were in the days before the 24/7 connectivity of laptops, cellphones and selfies. The selection of celebrity images are very much influenced by the Golden Age of Hollywood, with most of the glamorous male and female faces of the 1950s and 1960s represented. Each image can be tailored to fit the individual requirement of the designer. Some images work beautifully in a Jumbo format to create a statement piece within a room. All images work in smaller to medium sizes to create an immediate impact as a group. By choosing a white, black, oak, silver or chrome frame – it’s easy to match the mood and individuality of any room. I hope you enjoy the collection of images in this book and that they provide the inspiration needed to help find the perfect photograph to complete any wall. Martin Trowbridge “When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” - Ansel Adams. 4

Ben Wood’s years of photographic experience have allowed him to use the natural light to full advantage throughout the day’s progression. The collection comes together to form a group of gorgeous images from a day at the races. 206
