paper colour

paper size and colour is relay important  I would like to have a small  book sort of 8X10 in size most of the photo books are a4 or slightly larger  the images will be a bit smaller because the ratio  of the  of the images they don't don't fit fully. i did want a border round the images and i like the size of the images the way they are. for a book having the images smaller makes it interesting more personal you have to look for the animal. it will be the same in a galiry evanthough nthe images will be printed bigger people probaly wont get up close to the image so will have so serch for the animal thats what i want tpeople to look and find rather than it be in there face.  as regards to colour i think that whiye works the best its just very clean, simple its not off putting the black just blends in to the images to much and the conitations with black are very much about death and i don't want the book to be all dark the images have enough of that.  I wanted to try out the square paper becuase of How To Touch What by Lawrence Weiner, Eve Sonneman. all the images are on square paper but there images are in twos and the text is on the images so the problem of captions is not there where as with my book captions on squared paper dosen't work also i don't think there is any significance of squared paper.
