About this shoot
This project was from a recent assignment at university where as a team were tasked to create a book cover for the book Home by Toni Morrison. The images in question are the ones I’ve used to put in the zine that was apart of the project. A place for us as individuals to express our own touch referring to the book.

This set of three images were the final shots I put in to the zine. Basing of the final three lines from the cornerstone poem in the book
This house is strange. Its shadows lie. Say, tell me why does its lock fit my key?
This series of images are more of an ideation process testing ideas to see if they’re effective. The first shot was based more on the protagonists mental state. Whereas the final two shots were more based on the poems content. “its shadows lie” was a main point of focus, where, with a small handheld light (AL-M9), I took a series of images from a tripod to then process in Photoshop. Layering each image adjusting each colour to complement.
Revealing shadows that the viewer may not have notices prior.

Also some extra images that really didn’t turn out like I wanted. But for completion sake and explanation of the process I’ve also included.

Finally, what this whole project was for - the book cover. Illustrations not done by me, but technical areas and macro designs mostly by me. eg. how it should be printed, layout, ensuring it’s affixed to the book correctly and colours.
