deconstructing photobook

1. Research a photo-book and describe the story it is communicating  with reference to subject-matter, genre and approach to image-making.

This photobook is expressing the beauty within nature and the connections between physical human body features and the natural world in a simple, soft and humble way.

2. Who is the photographer? Why did he/she make it? (intentions/ reasons) Who is it for? (audience) How was it received? (any press, reviews, awards, legacy etc.)

Anna Eligabeth, hautlieu student.

3. Deconstruct the narrative, concept and design of the book and apply theory above when considering

The book itself feels smooth and clean. The colour of ink is written in a dull peach colour that matches the same colour as the front cover. Paper white if not filled whole with image. The paper feels thick and seems to have a shiny smooth texture. One page seems to be a little bit smaller than an A4 piece of paper. The book is presented portrait. Binding is hard.

The story behind this book is that this girl seems that she wants to express her passion between nature and man kind. She presents the beauty found within nature softly with one main theme of colour for each image and page. Colour is an important aspect in her book.

The bright, shiny sun fills the front page and fades from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. This image covers the whole outside of the book. She has a variety of different sized images, some fill a double page.

The editing process within this photo-book seems to be extreme with colour using high levels of saturation.
