Photobook (1/3)

Library Books

Here are three of the library books I picked out that I found interesting to start with

1.

"The Book of 101 Books, Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century," edited by Andrew Roth

 

I was particularly interested in the photographs' layouts and how some photos were laid out in asymmetrical or symmetrical designs. It's also good to note that some pages use images to flow seamlessly into the next page using scale and composition--a relationship between pages.

2.

"The Best of Simon and Kirby" by Joe Simon

This book interested me in the way the comic panels would show a narrative--showing a scene from one panel to the next. Rather than having an image per page, many panels of images showing a scene could be interesting.

3.

"The Art of Florence" by Glenn Andreas, John M. Hunisak, A. Richard Turner

Art from Florence interests me in their subject matter. I have always been fascinated by the dramatization of poses from back then, and would like to incorporate a motif of bodies into my sequence photobook.
