My Photobook

I added a poem to go along with my images, it’s a poem that I wrote from my own experience. It was to add more meaning and narrate the story.

I chose to start the book with ‘the beginning’ and finish it with ‘the end’ in order for the book to seem like a story book which relates to innocence and childhood.

I changed the text from fancy to creepy to show the transition from childhood to womanhood and the mental and emotional transition between. Also the types of images shift as well.
