How to make a Photo Book
The Complete How-To Guide
At the end of this 10-month program, you’ll not only have a finished body of work, but a real photo book in your hands — and a gallery exhibition to show it off.
This isn’t a one-off workshop or a quick tutorial. It’s a slow, deliberate, hands-on program designed to guide you from the first spark of an idea through to a polished project that exists in the real world.
Whether you shoot film, digital, or a mix of both, this program is for anyone who wants to make work that lasts and learn how to turn it into a book.
How it works
- 10 monthly sessions: 90-minute guided workshops in Olinda
- Step-by-step support: idea → experimentation → editing → sequencing → book
- Hands-on mentorship: critique, prompts, and advice tailored to your work
- Exhibition opportunity: celebrate your work in the Loop gallery
- Optional book guidance: plan, layout, and prepare your work for print
The real work happens between sessions, but you’re never doing it alone. We keep groups small (6–8 people) so you get personal guidance and feedback.
