Narrative

An exploration into my fathers connection to the ocean. My photo story will consist of a combination of archive and new imagery aiding me to document the past life of my father in photo form. The story will have a focus on my dad and his attachment to the sea. Imagery differing in age will be used to give viewers a deeper understanding into this relationship and how his love for the sea has shaped relationships among my family

Inspiration – Layout

A comprehensive collection of Leiter’s work, showcasing his unique style and artistic vision. Featuring iconic street photography, abstract compositions and a masterful use of colour. ‘Retrospektive’ not only showcases Leiter’s minimalist photography style but also incorporates a minimalistic approach to the layout. The book’s design focuses on simplicity, allowing Leiter’s captivating images to take center stage. The use of clean lines, ample white space, and carefully curated placement of photographs creates a visually pleasing and immersive reading experience. Leiter’s work has inspired me to adopt a minimalistic sense when it comes to the layout of my photo book.

Layout

I plan for my photo book to similarly take on a minimalist approach, allowing my imagery to ”take center stage”, create a clean and elegant look, and highlight the beauty of each individual image. I would like to use the ”Premium Lustre” paper option, as this paper offers a combination of vibrant colors and a soft textured finish, enhancing the overall look and feel of photos. The cover of my book will be a hardcover as i believe it gives a more professional look to the photo book, along with providing durability and protection. Software such as Blurb, an online self-publishing service allows for a custom design to a photo book’s layout, with its links to Adobe Lightroom Classic, users can edit images and create photo books in one place. Blurb will be used to create my photo book.
