Summary

I had come to realise that there was a huge gap in the market for children’s books that used photography instead of illustration. As children’s stories would often tell of fantastic tales, this meant a great deal of art direction and photorealistic compositing would be required to make the images as believable as possible.

I took ‘Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me’ by Eric Carle and turned it into a narrative sequence of photographs - telling the story of a father using a ladder to bring the moon to his daughter to play with.

This project was a semi-finalist in the Adobe Design Achievement Awards.
