Do you want to learn what it takes to successfully create and publish a photobook? Not sure where to start? This one-day workshop covers all aspects of photobook-making: from being mentally and financially prepared, to the techniques used for editing, production, marketing, and distribution. Students will be encouraged to share their projects (via slides or dummies), and will be provided with helpful lists of industry resources to help make their book a reality and ensure it gets seen through art fairs, photobook contests, and more. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, a photographer or a publisher, this class will provide an engaging and informative educational experience and a friendly introduction to the photobook community.

If your desired tuition option is unavailable, please email info@penumbrafoundation.org and we will do our best to accommodate you. If the entire class is sold out, we can add you to the waitlist.
