Material
Editorial Design & Photography – Material is a visual study that explores the aesthetic presence of everyday materials through photography and editorial design. The project focuses on the raw visual quality of surfaces, forms, and textures that often go unnoticed in daily life. All photographs featured in the publication were captured in a naturalistic style—completely unedited and free from digital post-processing. This approach highlights the intrinsic beauty of the materials themselves, emphasizing subtle details, imperfections, and tactile qualities without artificial enhancement
Through careful sequencing and minimalistic layout, the editorial design supports a contemplative viewing experience. The book encourages readers to reframe their perception of familiar objects, inviting them to engage with surface, weight, and structure in a more attentive way. The result is a quiet yet striking publication that blurs the line between documentation and abstraction, challenging conventional views on materiality and visual storytelling.
