Making Photo Books: A Practice Group Circle-Back

“A photobook is an autonomous art form, comparable with a piece of sculpture, a play, or a film. The photographs lose their own photographic character as things ‘in themselves’ and become parts, translated into printing ink, of a dramatic event called a book.” —Ralph Prins
This practice group circle back is focused on making photo books. Together, these six photographers explored the unique possibilities of photo books, from ideation, to sequencing, to layout/design, to publication (whether hand-making an artist book, self-publishing through an online printer, or pitching to an editor). During this circle-back conversation, we will discuss the ins and outs of the book-making process, and see the mock books made by each photographer.
