 " The Model Release Short Form is sometimes called a pocket release. ... Whenever you can, you should try to get a model release as this can make the difference between selling the image or not."

I have found creating a photo book more on the difficult side mainly because i struggled to form an idea but once i had eventually found something i could explore it became more appealing.I chose to document my time in New York and had chosen to use my film camera as the equivalent of choice .With this i had formed a theme A journey through the streets of New York although i found the title to be a little predictable there was no other way to describe it other than what you see.I found this module to more appealing because it was putting a themed collection of your work together and placing in a book yet this was more time challenging than anything i had done trying to be precise with where you wanted everything to be and how you what it to look but overall i am happy with the outcome and think that i have been precise in the choice of title and theme.

Another inspiring book, this book has a more minimalist approach . The image on the cover is small and barely takes up any room with the title just the name of the photographer boldly stated underneath no fuss more to the point.From what i can gather the images go in order from the photographers early images and goes on to progress into later work .

Photo book image


Trying to decide on a front cover image has proven difficult  as i think the front cover represents the book as a whole and what's in store inside.Its also the first image the viewer sees and i personally think that if the image looks a appealing your more likely to be interested in what's going on inside.The above image is an image i am thinking i want to represent my book .

Personal Best









There is a consistency with the books i have researched with the overlapping images on two pages and the sizing of images.This book is similar although in a larger form.I am inspired by this book because of the amount of documentation genres it covers even though its a collection of what I'm gathering is his personal best it gives the viewer a chance to see through the photographers eyes and everything he has witnessed and been able to capture.The book has large images which cover two pages and every now and again you come across a simple image that's not clustered with people,the image placed on the right hand side and the left completely white maybe suggesting or acting as a divider or time-out to all the large spread images.
