Spring break is around the corner and here is a beautiful travel album to inspire your planning. This glossy 8×10 softcover book is full of colorful images and descriptive text that together tell the story of an incredible journey to Southeast Asia. It will be in good company next to this New Zealand album on the coffee table…
The trip itinerary, as well as a page dedicated to each hotel stay, give a sense of place and lay the groundwork for all of the details that follow.
This book is a great example of the power of “The 3 C’s of Photography” that I learned from my friend, Elizabeth Dillow. As my client travelled to 3 different locations on this trip, she captured all 3 C’s – allowing me to easily design a book that tells the rich story of this family trip.- Context: the photos that set the stage or establish the setting
- Characters: the people/relationship shots that make the context meaningful
- Close-ups: the details, the color commentary, the zoomed-in perspective of the elements of any given story
Keep the 3 C’s in mind as you travel this year – perhaps 3 photos will be all you need to tell your story and keep your phone and hard drive from overloading!
