Why Make a Photo Book?
In the digital age, much of our best work stays on computer hard drives, hidden in the cloud, or on a device. A photo book brings your photography into the physical world, creating an artful, lasting artifact that can be shared with friends and family. Whether you’re showcasing a body of work, documenting a recent trip, or celebrating a special occasion, a photo book offers a personalized touch.
What we will cover:
Review several examples
Book printing and binding basics
Concept development and refinement
Matching a project to a book format
Selection, editing, and sequencing of content
On-demand book and zine printers
Workflow, software tools, and templates
Demonstrations of several different workflows with Blurb integration
