Using Printed Photo Books to Document Transitions
In life, it seems as though we are all focused on making transitions. Kids grow up. History changes. The ways in which we all look at the world become different - whether it is because we have become jaded or because of something that happened.
With printed photo books, it is possible to document these transitions and to share the experiences that the photographers have had along the way (along with comments on the transitions that have been made).
One example of photo projects that cover these transitions and that could be the inspiration for printed photo books is:
(source)For Darren Ching, creative director of Photo District News, a photography magazine based in New York, the images in Tomaszewski’s series “possess an intriguing emotional ambiguity. They capture the experiences of adolescents. The strength of the project for me comes from the understatement of the photographic content. Through glimpses of everyday life I find hints of confidence, vulnerability, innocence, defiance, budding sexuality - a range of childhood emotions which feel both private and universal.”
Even if your interests as a photographer are not focused on individuals or growing up, printed photo books can help you to document the changes that you see.
