Laten book

[Book design]

02.2024

Personal project

Laten is a personal collection of 74 photographs I took in different places I visited in 2023. It is easy for some images and memories to be forgotten among thousands of digital files or printed and forgotten in some drawer, so I wanted to collect in a special way some of my favourite photos and have them more accesible for when I wanted to remember some of these places.
