For my photobook, I chose these images as my front and back cover. I really like the contrast of the images from colour to black and white. I used my final images that I had edited on Lightroom to choose out of. On most of the pages there is an image of the girls playing in the woods, inspired by my first artist Justine Kurland, paired with a black and white portrait picture inspired by my second artist Mary Ellen Clark

The sequencing of my photobook is one black and one white on most of the pages. I have done this because I think it makes the book look more intriguing and interesting with the contrast of the two images. When putting the images onto the page, I ensured that the image was covering the whole page for each one. This was to eliminate all the white around the photograph. I think this looks good because it means that the whole page is covered with my images and it draws the viewers attention to the images. To cover the whole page, I used the “Zoom” tool to zoom in and out to make the image as big or as small as I needed. I made sure that the image was zoomed in enough so that none of the white on the page was showing.

When choosing my images, I ensured to choose ones that correlate with girlhood the most. I picked the images that were inspired by Justine Kurland to show the protection and care that girls have for each other and I wanted to show that through the images. I also chose to make the portrait pictures in black and white to make them dramatic and to add a sense of sadness to them which is inspired by Mary Ellen Marks photos.

The title of my image is called “Devine Feminine”, I like this title because it doesn’t give the viewer too much information as to what is in the book. However it may give the viewer an idea that it is about the empowerment that females have and the protection they have together as a society.
