So a friend and I were talking and we decided that a trip to Scotland should happen. Not just a couple of weeks either. I’m talking a couple months. I want to spend two to three months up there exploring, going to events, festivals etc. I want to meet people. Local people. I don’t want the tourist crap. I want the culture.
And I’m gonna photograph the whole thing.
And publish said photographs as a book.
Now, you may be asking the same thing my friend did. What makes my book of photos different from every other book of photos from Scotland? I mean, there are a lot of them. I don’t want to make a book of travel photos. I don’t want to make a book of oh-look-at-the-pretty-castles photos either. I want a true, book long photo essay. I want it to really explore the life, culture, people, landscape, architecture of Scotland. I want the reader to really feel as though they’ve lived there. I know that I still need a more specific focus for what I would be shooting. I’ll get there. All I know for now is that I don’t want your usual travel photography.
