At this point I knew i had the majority of my final images, and i knew what specific shoots i had yet to do to fill in the gaps, so i decided to try and experiment with organisation and building my narrative through the images. Drawing from the work of Katrien de Blauwer, who uses images with similar forms/structure to pair together, I chose to go through all my images and match up those with similar lines or shapes. Obviously not all matched up perfectly, so I also used their colour scheme and how they fit with my project idea (winter->summer). In the end I only had a few images left, and I worked out what sort of images i needed to resolve the problem. I also chose to keep some images solo in the photobook if i felt they just worked best that way.
The images below are sorted into a rough order of what i expect them to be in the photobook, but i know that i’ll probably change this around and switch it up as i add the final images, so for now it’s only a placeholder. They start off with the “winter” photos, and progress through to summer.

images that need pairing-
two heads together, m&p
three trees or smth structurally similar
same lines
shadows of trees

Some of the images above that still need pairing won’t be used in the final book if they just don’t work, but some could also be individual images.
