Define
Clarify the project, audience and reason for making the publication.
EDIT · SEQUENCE · PUBLISH
Turn photographs into a publication.
Move from a folder of images to an edit, sequence, format and physical zine dummy with a clear purpose.
Why learn this?
The process changes how you understand the photograph.
A zine is more than photographs placed in order. Image selection, rhythm, repetition, text, paper, scale and binding decide how another person experiences the work.
This guide prepares you for the session. The live product page remains the source for current booking options, availability, inclusions and price.
Inside the workshop
Four connected stages.
Edit
Remove repetition and select images that work together rather than only individually.
Sequence
Build pace, relationships, pauses and transitions across pages.
Prototype
Choose format and make a physical or digital dummy before production.
Who it is for
Begin where you are.
- Photographers with an unfinished body of work
- Artists preparing a first publication
- PolaWalk or community-project participants
- Private editorial sessions
Choose the format
Book the standard session—or ask us to build another one.
Individual, couple or listed option
Use the live workshop product for the currently available formats. Private workshops without a fixed date are scheduled with you after purchase.
Company or larger private group
Group size changes teaching time, materials, equipment and capacity. Tell us the participant count, preferred date, language and desired outcome for a tailored quotation.
Before booking
Questions that matter.
Do I need a finished project?
No. The workshop can help identify what is missing, but bringing a coherent group of images makes editing more productive.
Will we print a complete edition?
The selected product option defines the scope. A working dummy and production decisions may be more useful than rushing directly into a full run.
Can the workshop cover text?
Text, captions and project framing can be considered where they support the publication.
Can teams make a collective zine?
Yes. A custom version can be designed around shared contributions, a workshop theme or an organisation’s archive.
