With different image arrangements and binding methods, the climaxes and rhythm of each photobook are distinctive. The photobook is also a kind of autonomous art form with the authors\u2019 strong consciousness; therefore, the style and narration of each photobook are unique. As such an open and accessible means to narrate visual stories, photobook became increasingly popular for photographers and creators to convey their own ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To promote photobook culture, Hong Kong Photobook Festival was found by Lumenvisum in 2020.
