    Not much here yet... Hopefully it picks up some. I'm at the very start of a project. In fact, all I've done is a google search to see how many others are out there that thought of a "photographic" novel.

    Hey there!! I don't see a lot going on but maybe, just maybe, we can change all that!
    I'm Shaine Phillips and my partner, Jean Nichols, and I are only a few months away from our first book being released. We're doing a little twist on the photographic novel. Each page will have a photo/or photos in the background with the stories over/around. There are 5 short stories, all connected, and this is the first in the series. We are very excited! If you'd like, you can check out our website at Denver:Undead there are multiple links going to our deviantART site and all the character's myspace pages...

    Anyway, just thought I'd pop in and say "Hi!"

    I've just joined your forum and am glad to have found it. I just started to experiment with my own photographic novels. I only have one strip up on my blog for now, so it is the very beginning of my journey... My main theme will be transnationalism. It would be great to get feedback. http://humanette.blogspot.com/
    But also - it would be great to see people's beginner projects...

    Greeting Earthlings. Today I discovered your forum and I have to say that I am really happy I found ppl being interested in Photographic Novels. I am a postgraduate student from Greece, and I am preparing my project for my course. I am going to create a novel with manipulated photographs but first of all I need to gather material and work examples from wherever I can. Do you have anything to suggest me? I checked all of the links you have posted here and all of them are very helpfull and inspiring. But are there any more to share? Do you know if I can find more information about photographic novels? I am interested also in work from previous years because before starting my project I need to reserch everything in this field. So, anyone who can help?

    Hey guys,

    Not much action I see, hopefully with the few members we have we can actually focus more on helping each other out.

    To iLest, I haven't seen any major publications of a photographic novel (not that i know of at least) first time i saw any sign of one was on this site.

    I think google has either failed us by providing better results, or this is truly a new breed of reading that hasn't been mainstream glorified yet. Looks like we all jumped on this band wagon at the ground floor!!!

    Just a quick update to the world of Denver:Undead! We are days away from heading to the printer with the first book, Denver:Undead - Exordium. If you get a chance, check out our deviantart site. there are a few teaser pages up! Feedback would be super welcomed!!! (not a "traditional" photographic novel) but it's still in the same area... ???

    Hey denverundead,

    I checked out your link. The images / photography are excellent. Well done. Did you use HDR / tone mapping on the images?

    Just to let you all know, I have just started a blog at www.photographicnovel.org.uk which has little on it as yet, but will have some good links added to it as I get the time.

    Hey Toltec!
    Thank you very much! No HDR or tone mapping used. A little creative Photoshop went a long way with these photos!

    The results are really nice, I love mostly desaturated images and yours is one of the few I've found with creative lighting

    Hello everybody! Nice to see that finally some other people start to explore this fantastic field. When I started my Union of Heroes in April 2008 there was only one good serial photo webcomics around "Dark Red". Now there are "Night Zero" and "Pure and hidden truth". Now some others seem to start working on it. Can't wait to see the results.
