Making a Photo book – from concept to printing with Stewart Wall MA ARPS

A successful Photo book is much more than a set of images with a cover wrapped around them. This workshop is spread over three weeks, and each week there are three sessions. It is designed to enable you to design your own photo book with a professional look and feel.

Week 1 – Planning your Photo book

Session 1: Planning the Concept / Assets for your Photo book.

Session 2: Planning your Sequencing process

Session 3: Planning your Software / Design process

Week 2 – Editing and Sequencing your Photo book

Session 1: How to Edit your images (this is not about post production)

Session 2: How to Sequence your images

Session 3: Preparing for Designing

Week 3 – Designing your Photo book

Session 1: Designing the photo book using software basics

Session 2: Designing the photo book using software advanced

Session 3: Preparing the photo book for printing

By the end of the course attendees will have a good knowledge of what elements a good photo book will have, and an understanding of how to achieve them.

The course is taught by professional photographer and graphic designer Stewart Wall who is also a trained and qualified teacher. He has completed many documentary projects and facilitated collaborative documentary projects both for the Royal Photographic Society and with his own students. He has a BA (Hons) in photography from University of Lincoln, a BA in Graphic Design from Teesside University and an MA in Visual Communication from the University of Hertfordshire, and has just completed his first year of a Professional Doctorate (PhD) in Design at the same university, where he is researching Resilient Communities and how Documentary and Community Photography can connect Resilient Communities to make powerful Societies.
