Project - Analogue Photographers
Project Statement
‘Analogue Photographers’ is a coffee table book celebrating the art and community of film and analogue photography. The book begins with a personal introduction and a self-interview reflecting on my passion for analogue processes. It then highlights the influential work of three photographers who have shaped my perspective and style of photography: Ansel Adams’ composed landscapes, Dorothea Lange’s emotive photojournalism, and Garry Winogrand’s extensive street photography. The final section features interviews and work from friends with varying experience in film photography. Analogue Photographers was created to inspire both beginners and returning enthusiasts to explore—or rediscover—the beauty of shooting on film and to test my skills of editorial and publication design.
All of the layout design, hierarchy and typographic layout was done by myself with much of the copywriting coming from existing sources (books, essays, interviews and documentaries). Throughout the book I tried to create as much visual interest as I could with the layout, trying not to seem too blocky and repeated whilst sticking to my guidelines and grid system, to achieve this I utilised the imagery and whitespace to create a much more balanced look and easier read.
