The best and inspiring photobooks from Germany, Indonesia and Japan
The printed photo book as 'visual narrative' is experiencing an upswing in the digital age. This is just seemingly a contradiction. New program for image design and layout extend the creative possibilities of the photographers. Digital methods enable high-quality printouts in small runs and make it easier than ever to create a photo book.
The printed photobook shows not only individual pictures, but conveys the concept to the photographer. It is giving permanence to the volatile single object and a range beyond the temporary exhibition.
