Photographer Joseph Ford and knitting pro Nina Dodd have dedicated more hours than is reasonable to creating bespoke jumpers (for both humans and animals) that blend seamlessly into their surroundings - from bus seats to bushes, carpets to coastlines. The images are executed with such painstaking precision that should the camera, or jumper for that matter, move by an inch the illusion would unravel. The book will contain images featuring 25 knitted pieces alongside text including an introduction by a top arts writer.
