Editor and creative director Lesley Martin will analyze the different stages of making a photobook, from the conceptual to the practical. She will discuss how to move from an initial set of photographs toward a sound, unifying idea that will guide the subsequent process of decision making. Martin will draw on examples taken from her work as an editor of more than a hundred books by photographers including Rinko Kawauchi, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Stephen Shore, and Zanele Muholi to explore the development of a photobook and answer the ultimate question, “What makes a book work?”
