Graffiti Photo Book
Throughout my years as a growing artist, graffiti has always been something that has interested and inspired me. Most individuals view the act as vandalism, but I try to look past that and view it for what it is, a form of art. Just like everyone else, graffiti artists have something to say and just want to be heard. In the situation of both graffiti artists and other similar but not connected situations, sometimes one must go behind enemy lines in order to get their message heard.
This photo book is an attempt to capture the beauty of graffiti as a form of art in order to help people look past the stereotype of vandalism. I utilized my skills as a designer and photographer to compile a series of diptychs, showing both the detail and wide shots helping the viewer to get the full picture.
