The fundamentals of photo book design are based on the arrangement of photographs into a coherent sequence. Editing is more than simply assembling and stringing together images: The development of an exciting dramaturgy through the use of different methods and techniques is decisive. The aim of this workshop is to create a coherent whole that is more than the sum of its parts. The focus of this workshop is the selection, organization, consolidation, structuring and composition of images and image sequences in the tradition of a classic linear photo book.
