Photo book collecting
In the art of photography, many things have changed.
We have a greater access to the most artistic pieces out there with the internet.
According to Reference.com: “Photography allows people to communicate what is important to them, helps to preserve history, facilitates communication, enables people to become artists and moves people in ways that words sometimes cannot” .
Simply stating that as we are at the forefront of the modern era where everyone can capture history and release natural creativity.
The ultimate question is: in this day and age, why would we collect photo books from other people?
The answer is simple to someone who just love the art in and of itself, while being a more complicated answer to others.
To someone, being able to see other experiences, another person’s point of view is somewhat of a romantic idea.
In our lives, everyone has looked at another person and thought about how it would be to live in someone else’s shoes for a day or even a minute.
Emotion binds us up all together and photography is one way that we help us see and feel someone else’s life for a split second.
“A picture tells a thousand words” is a common saying that most of us know.
Fine art galleries everywhere show us many different pictures and experiences by quite many people.
To which, only a few prints will speak to the person’s soul while looking at the photo.
Having a photo book instead of just a single print shows the world the full picture, thus causing a deeper understanding of the subject or subjects.
Through photobooks, we see more in depth the photographer’s way of seeing the world around them.
With fine art photo books, we see the detail and passion behind every picture put forth.
The people looking at the prints feel the vibrancy of the location behind the photograph.
In a world where we are all connected, we’re able to be connected to the world through photographs.
