Assignment

• You have been approached by an editorial agent who markets photographic essays. He has a publisher in mind who is interested in books on the theme TRAVEL. The publisher has seen plenty of books focusing on traditional travel themes, and wants the book to reflect more creative points-of-view about the subject and prefers a storytelling format. This is the kind of book that would be on a person’s coffee table. It is purely a conversational, mood-affecting, or thought-provoking book. The publisher wants the entire book photographed, typeset, written and designed by you – a full and complete product.

• Photos may be in black and white or color. Try to make the majority of photos ones that you have taken, but you can also add other people’s photos that fit the travel theme.
