After going to the library and researching current photography books, it became clear that many of them had a repetitive style. Clean white negative space, black and white photographs, minimal text...etc. This is something I need to strive against. After being giving the brief, I had an immediate vision of this minimal book in my head but after realising it is such a common approach I have decided to go against it. Although it meant the photography stood out, the book itself had no presence. This is the main question though- is a book there to purely serve a purpose? Or should it have bearing over the content and add to the reading experience?
