1. From my unprofessional eye, it seems that Amengual's photos are taken possibly using an old film camera or digital with manipulation to the photos by reducing their saturation of color. Voom lenses were used or either close up photos were mainly taken, with seemingly no flash.
2. The theme and name of the photo book is "PAIN". The close in range photos depicts the upper body and faces of people out and about who look quite unhappy or angry. Amengual's motive was to definitely represent these expressions along with connections to colors such as red that represent things such as pain and anger.
3. Making the book so that one needs to stick some sharp object inside of the pages to reveal the photos, such genius. Up until the person showing the book started to cut into the pages my face was all bunched up thinking did someone really make a photo book of all red and yellow pages and how I felt my time was wasted. Now thinking about it, maybe Amengual wanted the viewer to have that exact reaction of frustration or anger contributing to the generalized theme of the book. Like I said, such genius.
