Leona Lewis has said that her forthcoming autobiography will mostly feature photographs.

The book, which is due out in October, will trace Lewis's life from waitressing in Pizza Hit in London to international pop stardom.

As well as dialogue about the singer's life, the memoirs will contain over 100 new photographs taken by Dean Freeman, who has previously worked with David Beckham.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Lewis, 23, said: “I’m doing a picture book. A picture speaks a thousand words and I’m a big fan of photography.

“I got a photographer to follow me everywhere I went and I’ve got pictures of everything.”

Lewis is expected to release her as-yet-untitled second album shortly after the book's release.
