The book 300m by Ben Brody pushes the boundaries of what a photo book can be. It presents a panoramic and immersive journey through the peak of the American war in Afghanistan, as seen through the lens of a 35 mm film toy camera. The execution of the book is straightforward, yet with an unexpected way of binding for a photo book. The use of leporello binding proposes that readers curate their own experience and encounter an unparalleled narrative. All of this is nicely tied together in a striking red dust jacket, with minimal typography placed on the spine. This design choice complements the book’s context and theme, resulting in a cohesive and engaging visual experience.
