Going somewhere else is always complex, even when you've been waiting a lifetime for that moment. This is the core of "A flor de piel," a poetry book by Telmo Fernández-Campinún for Autografía Books.

The body of work is filled with raw authenticity, each frame capturing the essence of a young man's journey from the familiar confines of his village to the vast expanse of urban life. As the creator behind its cover design and photography, I endeavored to shatter convention, embracing imperfection as a conduit for profound storytelling.

The cover image, with its deliberate graininess and blurred contours, defies traditional portraiture, inviting viewers into a world where vulnerability reigns supreme. Against a backdrop of clean, minimal typography and design elements, the stark contrast of black, white, and red takes the spotlight.
