Overview
For my final photobook design, I want to include text in between my images; giving my photographs more depth and contributing to the narrative. This idea was originally inspired by Suite Venitienne, In her book, Calle uses text to give context to her images – her entries are very diary like. For my book, I will use poems, extracts and statistics along side my photographs. The main theme will be stalking; how different people feel about this subject and how it can be turned into an art.

This is the quote I decided to use, this is an exract from Jean Baudrillard’s Please Follow Me. I really liked this extract as it gave a very fresh and interesting outlook on following. Baudrillard is a philosopher with a unique and incommon view on the world, this contriutes to his appealing and provocative describtion.
