An image a day at the least? I doubt I’ll be that dedicated. I tell myself often to post more.
So, here is one for today, a quick test crop for my new 11×14 book.
Photography in the days of square Hasselblad’s was easier.
Hell, there still are a few square fans. Aspect ratio can be dealt with in two ways. The first being you just don’t give a fuck and do whatever you want, change sizes and not think twice about it. The second is much more me, in that you think and consider the matter of size, aspect, bleed and white space to a degree that is just crazy.
My physical portfolios have gone from 13×19 to 11×17 to now 11×14 (all portrait aspect). Here is the thing. 13×19 is the best aspect ratio, that is, the best relation of height and width, I find anyway. However, the book was too big and I coudln’t take individual sleeves out for easy ordering. 11×17 is weird for my work. Great for others I’m sure. 11×14 I feel is too small, but small has it’s advantages. I’m trying to put together the work for this book and see how it lays out. I figure since most go with 11×14 portrait there may be something to it. But does it work with me… Oh the things I worry about…
