My second book turned out well too, although it's a much more limited edition than the first. And the most recent photo book has a lot of text too. It's the story of my parents. Here are the front and back covers.

26/ Photo Books
Mali's post yesterday reminded me that I was going to write about one of my photo books with text, but I think I'll mention several. I haven't made a lot of photo books (six total), but I'm rather proud of them. The first one was a gift for a friend famous for his jazz parties. I'd been photographing the parties for years, and one Christmas I decided to put together the best of the pictures for him. There isn't a lot of text in that one—mostly just captions—but it turned out well. So well, in fact, that he ordered a big stack of copies to give to friends, making it my most widely-read photo book.

Wow. This is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThere's an art, and a storytelling, simply in the arrangement of photos and the captions chosen. I would love to see your photobooks.
ReplyDeleteI love that you do this.
