Although we live in a digital age there is more attention for the paper photo book then ever before. Since the invention of the camera phone we started to use photography as a visual language, a language that has no boundaries. On the net we are constantly in contact with the rest of the world. We still have to get used to this ‘brave new world’. The paper photo book represents solidity, something we can literarily hold on to. It is trustworthy and has the aura of the original. The photo book is a visual novel. With this in mind graphic design agency Heijdens Karwei designs their photography books.
