Because the most question I get is “What is the difference between the art coffee table book and the trade book, PHOTOPOETRY?” I decided to put them side by side and make a little comparison.

In 2016 I’ve created The Photopoetry Project that led to 366 photopoems, the starting point of the 2 books, the artbook, The Photo Poetry Book, and the poetry trade book, Turning Black into Color.
The artbook has 368 pages, it is hardcover, 30×30 cm, and weighs more than 1 kilo.
The trade book has 82 pages, 6 by 9 inches and it’s very light. It is a selection of the best photopoems, re-edited, and the whole concept is re-thought.
The artbook, The Photopoetry Book is a daily documentation depicted as a photography art project.
The trade book, Turning Black into Color is a color poetry book, although still conceptual, has a strong line of the story.

As the coffee table book, the Art Book version of The Photo Poetry Book is no longer available for sale, you can now pre-order on Amazon the book TURNING BLACK into COLOR – photopoems for the brokenhearted.
