Photo Book Workshop
The final outcome of the photo book workshop was a photo book of twelve portraits rendered in 3d software. The title of the book is /STOCK as all of the models featured in the portraits are sourced from stock model collections of 3d scanned female subjects. The twelve portraits are presented as full bleed images, with blank white facing pages. The front and back cover are both image wrapped with portraits.
The concept of the book was to create a sort of false photo book, mediated through multiple layers of technology. Rather than being a single snapshot from a single camera, the models are scanned with dozens of cameras all taking pictures from as many angles as possible all at once. The lighting is generated from 360 degree panoramic images sourced from stock collections. The panoramic images are also captured by a camera taking a multiple photos from multiple angles to capture an entire panorama, and from multiple exposures to capture the maximum amount of light information. The final photograph is captured through a virtual camera in the 3d software, using a shallow depth of field effect. The end result is mundane snapshots that are in fact complex composite images that required many cameras, many photographers and many layers of software to be achieved.
As all of the materials featured inside book were sourced from collections on the internet, the books were printed using online printing services as a way of closing the loop from source to outcome.
