Photobooks (and how to make them)

Photobooks (and how to make them) looks at the different stories that photobooks can tell. It looks at how they reflect different national imperatives, how they have been used to address collaboration and the archive, and how sequencing, text, and image can be used to tell stories of  social, cultural, and personal change.
 
It’s about great images, big ideas, and photography meeting historic change, both in how stories were originally told and how they are being addressed today through photobooks and their design. It's about how history is made and is being readdressed, told in an accessible, intelligent style.

This series is ideal for anybody who seeks to understand how images are made and understood. It will enrich your understanding of the multiple ways in which photobooks can be made, and will also add layers to how you tell stories and how you can communicate those images to a broader audience through photobooks.
