luminovel
(noun)
lu·mi·no·vel /ˈluːmɪˌnɒvəl/
A luminovel is a storytelling format that blends narrative and photography into a unified, immersive experience. Rooted in the Latin words lumen (light) and novel (a work of fiction or story), a luminovel is more than a book — it is a visual journey, where images are not supplementary but essential to the storytelling itself.
Each photograph in a luminovel carries the weight of a scene, emotion, or moment — offering the reader not just a story to read, but a world to see, feel, and inhabit.
