Photobooks and Photozines with Stéphanie Probst

What  is a book or a zine? How many pages do you need? What kind of paper  should you use? What size should you choose? How many copies do you  want? Are you aiming to create a catalogue or a zine? Would you like to  share your work, tell a story, spread ideas, or illustrate a concept? Do  you just want to have fun and shape your pictures in real life? In this  class, you will receive advice and view examples of photobooks and  photozines, ranging from simple copy machine zines to unique  photographic objects. First, a theoretical/historical introduction will  provide you with essential context. Then, you will examine diverse  examples of photobooks to inspire you and expand your imagination  regarding the form of a book. We will discuss layout, editing, and  sequencing content to give it a coherent structure. Various methods of  folding, binding, and sewing will be demonstrated. We will discuss how  choices should be made to ensure the form complements the content.  Shaping a book can be simple or elaborate, as long as it aligns with the  overall vision..
