The concept for the book cover came from in depth research into the writer and the true story that he told. Truman Capote spent a lot of time with the killers finding out information for the book. Due to this he became overwhelmed and his involvement took its toll on his mental health. I therefore decided to try and portray this concept using photography to illustrate the suffering that had consumed him. I chose to hand write the title of the book onto my model as I felt that this helped to demonstrate the lasting affect that the things that Truman had experienced and heard had mentally and physically had on him.
