I’ve been having fun this summer talking my library co-workers into helping me make some awesome #bookface photos to post on Twitter and Instagram!!! If you haven’t tried it before, beware, capturing the perfect #bookface is fun, but it’s also harder than it looks. Mostly, it’s a process of trial and error. If the face on the cover is really big, the photo model will have to hold it close to their face to get a realistic image. Sometimes, the face is just too big, though, and the image doesn’t work. For small cover images, like body shots, you’ll need a third person to stand between you and the model to hold the book. #bookface photos are serious business 😛
Here are some of my successes. They’re not all perfect, but at least they’re weird:
