HUCK x Palm* Studios & If You Leave Photo Workshop

HUCK PHOTO WORKSHOPS | INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING: How to put out your own photobook with Palm* Studios and If You Leave

In the disposable world of online imagery, photobooks are still the holy grail for photographers from all disciplines. But what does it take to turn your personal project into something you can hold in your hands?

In this practical and intimate workshop, photographers-turned-indie publishers Lola Paprocka, Pani Paul and Laurence Von Thomas will come together to break down the dark art of print publishing, share the lessons they’ve picked up by doing everything themselves, and help you bring the project you’ve been grappling with out into the light.

Get the lowdown on:
– Printing: Get to know your options and the pros and cons of offset vs. digital.
– Editing: How do you whittle down thousands of frames into one cohesive project?
– Format: How will your book look and feel? Paper stock, format, binding and cover options.
