Making a Photography Book

A great photobook is more than a collection of good images—it is a carefully edited visual narrative. In this workshop, you'll learn how to transform a body of photographs into a cohesive, professionally presented book.

Drawing on my experience as a photographer, picture editor, and author of The Time Between, I'll guide you through every stage of the process, from selecting images to preparing your book for print.

What you'll learn

• Developing a concept for your book
• Editing and selecting your strongest photographs
• Sequencing images to create rhythm and flow
• Building visual connections between photographs
• Choosing the right format, size, and paper
• Typography, captions, and page layout
• Working with design software and templates
• ISBNs, copyright, and publishing essentials
• Printing options and self-publishing
• Avoiding the most common mistakes first-time authors make

Whether you're creating a personal project, a portfolio, or a book for publication, this workshop will give you the practical tools and editorial mindset needed to produce a photobook with purpose and lasting impact.

Who is this workshop for?

Photographers of all levels who have a body of work and want to present it in a meaningful, professional format. While examples will focus primarily on street photography, the principles apply equally to documentary, portrait, travel, and fine art photography.

Duration: Approximately 90 mins, including a Q&A session.
