About the Book
ELV (Norwegian for “river”) by Italian-born, Norway-based photographer Massimo Leardini is a meditative 104-page hardcover photobook showcasing his long-term collaborative work with a select group of models. Photographed during Scandinavian summers from 2014 to 2019, the images blend contorted human forms with primordial forests and riverbanks under elongated, tactile Nordic light. The book is presented as a 335×236 mm, 3/4 cloth-bound edition with foil-stamped boards and a dust jacket. ELV unfolds like a visual puzzle—an exploration of body, landscape, shadow, and memory through poetic, high-contrast imagery.
