Turn individual photographs into purposeful photobooks and zines to tell stronger stories and create a lasting record for future generations

(As well as access to the live event, you will automatically receive a link to the recording, valid for 28 days)

Explore why creating a photobook or zine should begin with purpose rather than simply assembling a collection of photographs.

See how identifying subjects with the potential to become photographic projects, and thinking about the finished publication, can influence what, why, and how you photograph.

Stewart will demonstrate how he uses programs including Adobe Lightroom Classic for editing and sequencing, Affinity for the professional design and production of his photobooks and zines, and how he publishes them.

Using his recent work with AppFrod Camera Club, he will show how photographers and clubs can document their communities, creating valuable records of local people, places and everyday culture for future generations.
