Narrative: What is your story?

3 words

Mental Health Disorder

A sentence

To show the effects of mental health through the use of photography.

A paragraph

The story of my photobook is to show the viewers how emotions cannot just be read from the face but can be from the body. I want to show these mental health disorders through my photography in a dramatic way, discarding the colour and having the white dress as the focus as a sense of purity and cleanness yet juxtaposes how the mind is. The self portraits would consist of photos in different locations such as a forest, an abandoned building and the inside of my own home.

Design: Consider the following

Paper and ink

Smooth, semi-matte finish with up to 440 photos.

Format, size and orientation

Sizing of the book to be 8×10 in, 20×25 cm.

Binding and cover

Printed on the front cover, back cover, and spine. Gloss finish with no cover flaps.

Title 

The White Dress

Design and layout

With the photobook I will have a selection of double page spread images, juxtaposition and a few sequences on a page spread.

Editing and sequencing

There will be a sequence of black and white self portraits in different places starting with trees, to an abandoned building to then inside showing the journey of mental health.

Images and text

With the new selection of images I will add some text which would consist of maybe a quote or some understanding of my story.
