NARRATIVE-

in three words: winter, spring, summer

in a sentence: the slow but gradual transformation from cold, harsh winter to soft, warm summer, adding in some comparisons to how people change/age over time.

This photobook will be a study on how the weather, environment and general mood changes as the weather warms up and the seasons change from winter to summer. The season of spring has always been represented as a period of transition, and often also as a period of rebirth- not only in a religious sense but also environmentally. I want to have the images seem natural and as if they are seen through your own eyes, and I’m planning to do this by not over-editing the images and carefully using angles to my advantage. I also want to do some portrait work as well and add that alongside, to represent how humans age over time and the transition of youth to adulthood and old age.

DESIGN-

• portrait orientation
• colour
• some text throughout the book (quotes?)
• most images in pairs, some as individuals
• fairly simple editing to keep the natural theme
• title along the side of the book as well as on the front

I don’t have plans for a name yet, but I want it to be short and something to do with the spring, or the changing of seasons.
