One Day

In 2009 photo artist Harvey Benge had the idea of getting a group of photographers together to shoot a book in a day. On June 21, 2010—the day of the solstice—ten of the world's leading photographers each shot a series for a book in different places around the world. The result is a truly unique collector's item, a boxed set including ten individual and elaborately designed hardcover books.
