Week 11 Photobook
Had a great time this week continuing to develop Version 5 of my photobook. Instead of taking any new photographs, I focused entirely on refining the story and sequencing of my existing images from Karangahape Road. It was interesting looking through all the photographs again and thinking carefully about how each image connects to the next, creating a stronger narrative throughout the book.
I spent a lot of time experimenting with different layouts, image pairings, and page arrangements to better capture the atmosphere and character of K Road. The mix of street portraits, architecture, alleyways, posters, graffiti, and everyday moments helped build a visual journey through the area. It was quite a challenging process, as there were many photographs to choose from and I had to decide which images best supported the story I wanted to tell.
Some of the darker images are slightly underexposed, however I like how the natural light and shadows create mood and direct the viewer’s attention. Overall, it was exciting to see the photobook become more cohesive and feel closer to a complete visual story of Karangahape Road.
