Architecture + Beauty is the second monograph by John Balsom combining the artist’s main interests of history, documentary, casting and in the photographer’s words, ‘graphicness.’
These concepts are explored through four distinct sections of the book focusing on pictures he took of public diving boards in New South Wales, Australia, The STS Kruzenshtern—a German ship that was surrendered to the USSR in 1946 as a war reparation, the MV Paul R. Tregurtha—the longest ship operating on the Great Lakes complex, and the Lusophony Games—the multinational, multisport event for athletes from Portuguese-speaking nation.
