IN YOUR FACE
a book in the making by paul trevorIN YOUR FACE is three things:
- an online record of work-in-progress for a forthcoming photography book
- a powerful editing tool
- an invitation to readers to use the tool and contribute to the making of the book.
IN YOUR FACE features a small area in central London, not far from the Bank of England. It focuses on people in The City, the money market, and Brick Lane, a nearby street market. The photos explore the two places through a series of spontaneous close-ups. It offers an unusual portrait of market forces in action.The proposed book will be of triptychs. The immediate editing challenge is to find the best possible combinations. IN YOUR FACE offers a novel way of doing this. Like a fruit machine, it allows you to 'spin' the images and 'hold' pairs and singles depending where you click. It's not difficult to discover how it works - there are seven clicking options.
Your suggestions for triptych combinations are welcomed. For the present, email the image numbers (from Source) to paul@ellipsis.co.uk - later a simpler means may be found.
