Goal :

• Publish photobook to elaborate photographers activity from hobby to semi / full time professional photographers
• Trigger interaction among community members to achieve 10,000 members as 1st phase

Key point :

• Book publish in 3 languages at the same time to enlarge potential viewers and promote OPEANUT’s global scope projects
• English
• Korean
• Chinese

Timeline :

• Draft out project plan & announcement (Mar)
• Select 5-6 members who can join the project (Apr – May)
• Finalize the project plan (Jun)
• Photo & article preparation (Jul – Sep)
• Publisher communication (Sep)
• Design work (Oct – Nov)
• Publish (Dec 2018 or Jan 2019)

Key items to be decided :

• Name of the book
• Book format (size, print quality)
• What style of the photo?
• Do we need ‘aligned theme’ from project members or random subjects?
• B&W only or Color photo?  Printing quality for Color book will be more challenging and expensive. Also BW photo is well regarded as artistic output.

Contents

• 60% photo
• 20% story behind the photo, location, experience, personal memories….
• 10% photo skill, how to take & process the photo
• 10% equipment, what used (camera / lens is not relevant with photo itself, but most viewers want to know about it anyway)

Proposal 1 : BW cityscape

• Select 5-6 cities in the world, for example, Amsterdam, Paris, Seoul, Taipei, LA ….etc & gather photos from members
• Theme of the book is very specific
• Can draw strong attention from whom are interested in this specific area.

Proposal 2: BW landscape

• More in general, landscape including cityscape
• More freedom for photographers
• Wider audience but BW landscape is not really special subject…
