In this class, you’ll have the chance to make your own photography book—from start to finish. Personal photography books make magnificent gifts, are great complements to portfolio presentations, and can tremendously aid in marketing your work. You’ll learn how to edit and sequence your work and how to size your images for printing.

You’ll also get to experiment with design, layout, and digital printing options, as you work to create a beautiful presentation piece that expresses your artistic vision. The best part? At the end of class, you’ll have a finished book, fresh from the print shop.

Students should bring 10-15 images to class.
