Photo Book: The Finished Product

Here is my final photo book spread. I spent a lot of time trying to choose the right pictures for the book, as well as choosing which images I wanted to put in what order. I decided on what I thought were my best photos, and went from there. I paid the extra money to have a full bleed cover because I thought it would look better, and I really like how it turned out. It’s a beautiful image edited as an HDR using Photomatix and Photoshop.

As for the design, I went with simple rather than anything too fancy. I had some dark images, so that’s why I chose to go with the darker theme, in order to let the images fade off into the black background better. However, I didn’t want it to be too dark, so I added the white borders on some images. Choosing fonts was a difficult thing for me, but eventually I found two that I liked, that I thought worked well together.

Previous Photographs

The following pictures are photos I have taken over the past few years after I got a camera for Christmas. Each has its own story, but they all tell a little about who I am. I like to take pictures of nature, so half of them were taken while I was hiking or out exploring through Idaho and Wyoming. I love my family, and I love food. I took a picture of a meal I made one semester: chicken cordon bleu; and I also took a picture of my favorite meal to eat while I lived in China: I call it potato noodle hot dish.

Slight edits were made on four photos. Shrub, French chicken, Sunset, and Cloud mountains all had a little editing done with brightness/contrast. French chicken and Cloud mountains also had a bit of tweaking done with the levels. Other than that, all the photos pictured are the raw photos I took from my camera.
