View Details

6 classes over 6 weeks. 1.5 - 2 hours per session. Mondays at 17.00 (GMT +1)


The course covers all of the stages of book production from an idea and a collection of images right through to producing a photobook as a PDF ready to print or as an upload directly via book publishing software.


We cover image selection, sequencing, layout, software options, typography, storytelling, format, paper selection, cover design, publishing options and more.


With just eight participants in a group there is time to share ideas, support each other, and feel motivated to work steadily, week by week , until a beautiful book is born. All you need is a collection of images, a laptop or desktop computer and a willingness to use Zoom. Participants should have either Lightroom Book Module or Affinity Publisher. If you have neither of these please get in touch with me before booking.


I do not spend time teaching the basics of these softwares, but point you in the direction of lots of resources that will enable you to learn any software skills that you may not already have mastered.


All classes are recorded, so if for any reason you cannot attend a session, you will not miss out.

testimonials.....


“I am so grateful to Caroline for creating a workshop to help me get started on making a photobook, something I’ve wanted to do for years. Without the workshop, I never would have gotten so far in this exciting journey – and I can’t wait to start another book. She did a wonderful job of presenting information in an organised way and in understandable chunks. Then she amplified that with helpful resources we could access throughout the week. She was encouraging every step of the way. Kudos, Caroline!”


'I was thrilled to be able to produce my own book in a caring and supportive group that nevertheless gave constructive criticism. Caroline helps participants to realise their own vision while providing a wealth of information, advice and support. I highly recommend this course if you want to learn to make a book. It's easier than you think.'
