The Photobook

https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2020/feb/24/teju-cole-photobooks-fernweh

a sequence of photographs testifies to a photographer’s visual thinking, a way of seeing revealed through choices of colour, subject, scale and perspective

what makes a photobook great is how well it combines a large number of variables: the paper; print quality; stitching and binding; the weight, colour and texture of the cover; the design and layout of the interior; the size and colour balance of the images; the decision to use gatefolds or to print across the gutter; the choice to include or exclude text and, if so, how much of it, where in the book, and in what font; the trim size and heft of the book; even the smell of the ink! every great photobook is a granary of decisions, an invitation into the realm of the senses 

of all the elements that make a photobook truly special, the most important is the order of the images. look at this, the photographer says, then look at this, then look at this one. all books are chronological, but the feeling of being guided, of being simultaneously surprised and satisfied, is particularly intense in photobooks

this is language without words. an act of analogue rebellion in an obnoxiously digital world

“a photo book won’t send you ads, and it doesn’t track you”
