Online Photobook Workshop with Thomas Gust
This four-hour seminar approaches the photo book from both theoretical and practical angles, guiding you through key ideas in image analysis, the construction of image pairs, and the shaping of narrative through sequence and design. Together, we trace the full arc of the photo book process from foundational elements like cover design, endpapers, sequencing, and image relationships (contrast, reflection, visual echoes), to the role of text and archival materials. We also discuss the realities of contemporary publishing, including types of photo books, pitching strategies, market understanding, and navigating both analog and digital distribution channels.
By the end of this program, you gain the tools and insight to understand how photographic projects come together as books, whether self-published, pitched to a publisher, or produced collaboratively.
