Photo Zines—Concept to Creation
OVERVIEW:
Join Ted Forbes to consider all creative and practical aspects of making your own photo zine using an existing selection of personal images, or developing a new photographic series.
Photo Zines—Concept to Creation is a project-based experience. You, Ted, and a few fellow photographers will meet virtually for several sessions to address essential content and design ideas, inspire one another through conversation, and “tackle” exercises that support the development of your final product.
Photo Zines—Concept to Creation is designed with three key goals in mind:
— Make time for thoughtful focus on one photography project
— Walk away with a unique photo zine, designed and ready for publication
— Connect with other passionate photographers
Key Components and Content:
A survey of photo zines and books to inspire and provide context for your project.
Presentation and dialogue about everything from concept, image selection, and sequencing to layout, printing, and more.
Exercises to workshop ideas and refine your vision.
Working Group—for one of the sessions you’ll meet with Ted and 2-4 other photographers to present in-progress ideas and gain feedback. This small group session will serve as Session III and occur in lieu of the large group meeting.
Guidance and recommendations for design templates and tools, printers, and distribution.
DATES & SCHEDULE:
October 26, 3:00-5:00 pm (Central Time) - Session I
November 2, 3:00-5:00 pm (Central Time) - Session II

November 16, 3:00-5:00 pm (Central Time) - Session IV
*For Session III, you will sign up to attend a small working group session designed for sharing in-progress ideas with peers for feedback. These sessions will be scheduled after registration, yet prior to the Session I start date.
LOCATION:
Join us for this live, virtual program from the comfort of your own space.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Photographers interested in organizing a small body of work into a thoughtful, cohesive product. All experience levels are welcome! Whether you are a novice or seasoned photographer, you can expect to take away new insights and knowledge.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Limited to 20 participants.
We will meet online via zoom. Zoom video conferencing software can be accessed free of charge at zoom.us. Please be sure to install and test the software on your device prior to the first session.
The ideal experience involves attending the live weekly sessions with Ted and fellow photographers. We realize that unavoidable circumstances may arise. If you have to miss a session, the recording will be made available to you. In fact, recordings of all sessions as well as additional resources will be provided on a private workshop webpage.
We may photograph select workshop experiences for future use. Please complete the photo release during the registration process.
We’re committed to producing high-quality experiences. Online sessions bring potentially unique challenges, such as varied internet speeds, traffic on Zoom servers, and the performance of each participant’s hardware. We’ll do our best to support the ideal experience for each participant.
