Brooklyn Beckham photography book is something we should all aspire to – everyone deserves to see their work in print
Producing a photobook is well worth the effort and should be considered a rite of passage for photographers. It’ll teach you a lot about your own work
Brooklyn Beckham's photography book has recently resurfaced on the internet after being out of print since 2017. Rather than focusing on the controversy surrounding celebrity publications, the author of this piece takes a positive approach. The book, titled "What I See," showcases the young photographer's work at just 18 years old, which the author acknowledges could be far from perfect.
The author highlights several reasons why creating a photobook is a valuable endeavor. Firstly, it allows photographers to see their images in print, an experience often lost in the digital age. Holding a print of one's work provides a tangible connection and appreciation for the effort invested. Secondly, producing a photobook offers encouragement, as the process of carefully selecting, curating, and positioning images within a book can significantly boost one's photography skills.
Even if there is room for improvement, viewing the photos in print can foster a sense of pride and accomplishment.
The author emphasizes the importance of curating a selection of images for a photobook. This process teaches photographers how to present their photography as a cohesive series, rather than just individual photos. It also allows for a deeper review of one's work, providing a fresh perspective and promoting growth. Lastly, photobooks serve as a convenient means to revisit and revisit past work, as flipping through a book can be a rewarding experience.
While the author acknowledges that not everyone has celebrity status to make a photobook, they strongly encourage anyone with a passion for photography to create one. It is a brave and commendable act to share one's work with the world, and photobooks can serve as a tangible testament to that dedication.
