Brandon Woelfel: luminescence - Review

I am a huge fan of Brandon Woelfel. His images are always beautifully composed and coloured and this book is an absolutely beautiful way to view them. I find that when looking at an image on a screen often the colours look different to how they're supposed to. To me, the colours look far better in this book compared to on my phone or computer.

Each of the pages feels thought out. The colours are all positioned so that they match or are complementary and the images on both sides of the book are either from the same photo shoot or from ones that are visually similar.

I love the front cover, the holographic lettering really adds to the feel of the book and honestly feels really extra, like Brandon Woelfel himself (just watch his story for images of his bedroom). This does feel like a really personal book, he has chosen out all the images inside, decided where to place them etc. This is almost a sneaky inside look into how Woelfel's mind works.

However, think it would have been a nice addition to have some information on each of the images. A name, where it was taken or ever the exact models involved would have been great. By no means is Brooklyn Beckham comparable to Woelfel, but I do have to commend him for adding some information on the images. Yes, it's supposed to be a thought catalogue, but it would have been cool to learn more about some of the thought processes behind the images.

Overall I give this book 4/5 stars.
