Creating a Personal Photo Book

Philipp Meiners is a German photographer who is passionate about street photography. He describes his passion this way: “Strolling through the streets, always looking for something interesting, the decisive moment, is a great opportunity for me to disconnect from everyday life. I just walk through the streets and watch what is happening, or look for a specific spot and wait there for the decisive moment.”

Philipp’s latest project was quite intriguing – a yearbook of his favorite street photos taken throughout 2020 and turned into a physical photo book using Blurb. I was curious about how Philipp curated his images, selected materials, and how satisfied he was with the end result, so we got together to chat about it. We talked about what all was involved in creating his yearbook and what it takes to bring a personal project to fruition.
