Photographer Brooke DiDonato's debut monograph, Take a Picture, It Will Last Longer, explores the surreal scenes hidden in everyday life. Inspired by homes in Ohio, her surreal photographs question how familiar spaces are occupied. Limbs and torsos bend unnaturally on sofas, while ordinary backdrops such as white picket fences and cornfields are transformed into sites of unexpected psychological encounters. Evoking nostalgia and disorientation, DiDonato's work wavers between the familiar and the fantastical, poetically addressing themes of contemporary anxiety, universal love, and loss. A book that offers a photographic experience inviting readers into a captivating world.
