The book comprises of 74 polaroids Smith took while on the road with Maximo Park.

“I’ve always been interested in documenting what surrounds me and as a touring musician I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world,” Smith said.

“It would be easy to allow the days to blur into a whole, but one way to combat this is to create your own map of a day using pictures.”

Thinking In Pictures will be released on October 11 – the same day as his debut solo album 'Margins'.

Copies of the book will also include Smith's album. The first 1000 copies will come with a signed bookmark.
