Diptychs will be useful to look at for deciding how to lay out my photobook and getting some inspiration.
Luke Fowler
Luke Fowler is a film maker and artist from Glasgow. In 2012 he released a book called 'two frame films' where he used a half frame camera with 35mm frame to take a series of paired images. The two photographs together aren't seen as two separate images they are seen to make one whole image, as they always seem to have something linking them together even if it isn't obvious you always get a sense of the images being linked. His images are often juxtapose and his work explores the relationship between them. The way the images are displayed on the page vary's usually they are horizontal but sometimes vertical they all look to be around the same size there is also a few blank pages in the book . The cover of the book is very simple and plain which is in keeping with the rest of the books very simple design throughout.
Osma Harvilahti
Osma Harvilahti is a Finnish photographer who travelled across Africa he took a series of six diptychs over a course of five days while he was in Morocco . His diptychs were linked through colour, texture and shape. Often but not always the pair of images would feature a person in one and an inanimate object or objects in the other they could be natural or man made objects for example pomegranates , coke bottles or snakes on motorbikes a cross over of both. These images in my opinion would be street photographs which I find interesting as usually street photographs are of built up modern,urban areas where as these images seem to almost be the opposite of that.
Katie Orlinsky
Katie Orlinsky is an American Photographer based in New york she works for papers such as the New York times and the wall street journal. She made a series of diptychs titled 'spring thaw diptychs'. These images were taken in May and june 2015 in Alaska it documents the unusually fast thaw that took across over the the space of the two months. The images are a before and after shots showing the landscape covered in snow and ice then next to it similar photos of similar landscapes in Alaska with no ice or no snow at all. The images all concentrate on landscapes and seem to be focused on climate change as they are all highlighting the unusual extreme temperature change which is a result of climate change.
