I was recently asked if I "do photography" while talking over a freelance job of redesigning a factsheet of young-adult author Ofer Aronskind. I immediately said yes, but then thought to myself, "does he mean professionally?" I'm always taking photos of my family, vacation scenes and of my garden, but I really haven't thought about taking it to a professional level. I have a nice camera and understand the basics of photography so, really, what was stopping me from tackling this? I had to at least give it a try. Ofer seemed like a nice guy and would work with me on this one.
The factsheet, which included cover images of the four books he has written since 2006, needed a fresh photo of him and the plan was to also use the photo for his upcoming book's back cover.
The above photos were the top selection out of a few dozen that I took at a local park on a beautiful day. Ofer ended up selecting the middle photo for the factsheet.

What a great job on both the photography and the graphic design. Maybe you should take up photography as well as design.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeff! This turned out so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks you two! I would like to do more photography and may have to get Amy to give me some pointers along the way!
