Sounds odd/ possibly boring but a while back I started photographing paper, folded, curled, textured/ not, monochrome and lit by gel coloured flash. I haven't done tonnes of images but someone suggested they would make an interesting coffee table book and I filed that suggestion in the back of my mind. This week I started seriously thinking about the logistics of putting something together and came to the conclusion that first I probably need more images and second possibly some more unbiased feedback than I would get at home.
My aim is to get together a minimum of 28 images (currently have around 16) to fill a book. As for the printer, paper type, binding etc.. I'm a bit clueless although I am quite partial to the idea of a hard back. Initially thinking 3-4 copies for friends and family as gifts.
I thought I might as well make a thread here as there seems to be a wealth of experience amongst our members who I'm hoping might put their 2 cents in to help me sort it all out in my head.
I've ordered some different paper types and been looking at inspiration for folds and colour to create some more images but I thought this would be a good place to post them as I make new images.
Happy to hear thoughts on the images and or suggestions on the overall project, be as brutal as you like I can take it (hopefully...
) I do have some niggling doubt in the back of my mind that its worth the effort and expense.
A few of the images I have done so far for a taste of what I'm talking about.
Geez, never have I hesitated about hitting the 'post thread' button like I have with this one...
