If you love Antigua and are looking for the perfect way to take home your memories of the island, and re-live them as often as possible, do not miss buying a copy of IMAGES Antigua & Barbuda by Alexis Andrews.
Based in Antigua since 1985, Alexis specializes in commercial large yacht advertising images for the marine industry. During this time he has supplied photography to all the major players including yacht designers, yacht builders, yacht brokers, yacht magazines and numerous advertising & stock agencies worldwide. This has given him the chance to capture some of the most breathtaking images of Antigua, which will make you literally catch your breath.
Alexis Andrews' lens has captured the essence of Antigua and Barbuda from the beginning when the Amerindians first saw it in its wonder and simplicity to the present day when glittering superyachts cruise our shores.
IMAGES has taken 20 years to compile, and contains 180 pages of blazing colour and black and white images, in a 12” x 12” hard bound coffee table photography book.
The highly successful launch of Carriacou Sloops Vol. I & II took place on April 16th during the opening night of the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. The event was hosted onboard the seven attending Sloops and while the sounds from one of Antigua's great saxophonists, Big Boy wafted across the dock, guests were treated to a shot of Jack Iron chased with coconut water.
For 2 hours an eclectic group of people ranging from yacht owners, crew, artists, VIPs, Antiguan & international press and media, moved through the crowd that was buzzing with the interest that Carriacou Sloops have created here at this event over the years. As daylight faded to darkness the sound of Scottish highland bagpipes signaled the start of the slideshow presentation of the books. A 9 foot screen was hauled up the mast of GENESIS as the 300 strong crowd went silent. Afterwards the book signing continued with delicious snacks provided by Grenadian chef Selwyn James.
There have been only 1000 copies printed of this first Limited Edition set. These are now on sale in Antigua at Lord Jim's Locker, Woods Gallery, Best of Books and on-line from www.IndianCreekBooks.com 460 -1175 and will be also available this summer in Tortola, St. Barth's, Bequia, Petit St. Vincent, Carriacou & Grenada.
