Spiral bound booklet
A 130-page collection of expressive bird portraits by Dr. Cheryl Schultz, psychologist and photographer, made in a run of 3 as a gift to Dr. Schultz and her family. The book’s layout is airy and open, leaving space for the winged subjects to shine on the page. We organized the book by color, reflecting on the way bird plumage mirrors the hues of nature. I used a circular window motif on the front and back covers, offering a glipmse into the world of color and light that the photographer sees when she looks through her camera’s viewfinder. The motif repeats in the section header pages; I cut physical windows into the pages to create a moment of delightful interactivity for the reader and add to the sense of intimacy of the photographs.
