Paul Graham
Another photo book I found which I liked the layout of was another Paul Graham book. The book presents many of Paul Grahams projects, along with text about him as a photographer, his work, the methods behind his work ect.
The layout of the book followed a similar layout to the previous book I had seen however this time some of the images would be presented across a double page with sometimes only blank space to one side of the image like so:
With the ideas of my own photo book coming together, I am swaying toward the decision of not having any writing in my book. I feel maybe for my final outcome I may carry out some further research in order to find some fitting text such as quotes or interviews that may accompany my images, but for my machete version I aim experiment with presenting images with white space around them. I really like the idea of the image above, presenting two images of the same size one above the other. It gives the viewer a lot to look at and consider for only one page, contrasting or very similar images would work well like this.
This idea of an image spreading across two pages only to leave a small amount of white space to one side is something I really want to experiment more with for my final print.
What I feel works well is when one image may be placed to the right hand side of the two pages, then on the next page the image is presented to the opposite side to the previous image. This causes the viewer to look across the pages when viewing the book rather than just focusing on the same area of each page.
