How can we approach the process of creating a photobook from our own project? In this mini-workshop, we’ll explore why its just as important to think about the concept of the book itself as about the images. Discover how the choice of format, material, and design can influence the overall outcome, and why every project should be considered individually rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach to bookmaking.

Zuzana Pustaiová — whose photobook One Day Every Day was shortlisted for the Paris Photo-Aperture Photobook Award — will guide participants through her approach to developing a photobook, from idea to final object. She will discuss when and why it makes sense to publish a project as a zine, a book, or a book object, and share insights into her own creative process. Alongside her work, she will present examples from other contemporary authors and independent publishers who emphasize the importance of concept, form, and materiality in photobook making.
