a different kind of photobook
Lux Umbra is a photography book that you are invited to participate in using the Lux Umbra creative kit. The book contains advice and words to direct creatives toward achieving their dreams. The viewer is invited to not only observe the photographs and designs in the book, but to also interact using scissors, markers, and glue to make the book your own.
Lux Umbra , meaning "light and shadow" in Latin, reflects the black and white photography presented in the book. Deep shadow within the photography is a common theme throughout the pieces.
a collaborative effort
This book was made in direct collaboration with Architect and Photographer Andrew Jimenez. This curation of his photographic work, which focuses on urban spaces and human interaction.
I worked as the sole graphic designer, collaborating with the photographer to develop a cohesive photobook. I designed the packaging for the creative kit, designed and hand biding the book spreads, and creative directed the hero imagery photoshoot. I wrote and designed the copy and it's layout.
