Here is my first draft for my photo book. I choose all my best, favorite images from each shoot that I did. I wanted to try organise the images into some sort of series, in a way that would make sense to the reader. I decided to separate the images into the different parts of the body. I first started with the feet, then the hands and face. I did this because I wanted to separate the series instead of presenting them together.

I wanted their to be a colour theme within my photo book because I wanted the images to flow. I didn’t want my images to solely be black and white though because that wouldn’t suit the theme of my project. Since my project is about body image and expressing emotions in a physical way, I wanted an image that represented this as the front and back cover. Instead of having two different images for the front and back, I wanted it to be one really good image. I choose the image of the hands reaching out because I think its a really powerful image that coincides with my theme.

My initial step was to choose the very best images from my selection to present as multi page images. I decided to primarily focus on the landscapes to present largely because I wanted to use them as a divider to separate the different sections of my project. I planned that I wanted all my other images to be presented on a smaller scale because I wanted it to be a simplistic flow.

The images of the beach landscape promote the idea of movement within my project. I have also focused on sea landscapes because I wanted to use an environment that related to the movement of the mind and the body.  I didn’t want the layout of the images within the book to be exactly the same, so I mixed up the position of the images to create a movement that worked.
