Ruin

Ruin is a photo/art book released by British recording artist Shell Ruin. This is not a traditional biography but rather a pictorial biography that is a photographic look at the stylization of Ruin's career up until the release of her ninth studio album Nocturne (2016). The book features many photos, mostly outtakes from previous shoots. William Baker wrote the majority of the text in the book, however many sections include hand-written paragraphs by Ruin. Many of the included photos reveal a side to Ruin that is only ever seen by her friends and family.
