P1.Sentir Con Ojos — Book
Fernando López Editorial Design, Art Direction
2026
A 200-page photographic archive by Fernando López, bringing together years of observation, cultural expression, and everyday encounters across New Orleans.
Approach Sentir con Ojos, translating to “To Feel with Eyes,” reflects Fernando López’s way of experiencing the world through photography. Shaped by his Mexican heritage and years spent in New Orleans, the editorial direction explores the relationship between observation and emotion, allowing the images to communicate beyond words.
Through intentional image sequencing, custom-designed typography, and considered material choices, the publication creates a visual lanuage that moves between intimate encounters, cultural expression, and the everyday.
Outcome
The result is a 200-page photographic monograph that gives physical form to the idea of feeling through sight. Bringing together over a decade of Fernando’s work, the publication invites readers to experience New Orleans through his perspective as a Mexican photographer.
Developed alongside the book was a photography exhibition, extending Fernando’s work beyond the printed page and into a physical space. Together, the publication and exhibition offer two distinct ways of experiencing the people, places, and moments that have shaped his relationship with New Orleans.
