How to self-publish photo books that look like something you’d buy for your coffee table — and that you can distribute through Blurb, Amazon or Apple's iBook store if desired

Professional techniques for visual storytelling based on carefully sequenced images

The easy way: a fun and quick photo book design that takes images right from your social media feed with Blurb’s Bookify

Why take this course?

Is making your own beautifully designed photo book a dream of yours? There is no better way to present your portfolio in a professional manner and also archive your best work. But for most people, that’s where the dream ends. They don’t know where to begin, how to edit their work and how to design and publish their photography portfolio. This course puts an end to the confusion and shares the proven, systematic technique from concept to coffee table album that I’ve used to self-publish more than 30 photo books. I take you through step-by-step using the self-publishing platform Blurb, which has a ton of gorgeous, downloadable templates that you can use to easily create a professional quality photo book.


Sharpen Your Skills

  • Selecting Images — Work With Printed Thumbnails

Discover how the pros cull their photos to prepare for publication with this simple yet effective technique. You’ll learn the benefits of printing all of your images in a small or even tiny size and working with them in order to get the final set.


  • Creating A Sequence To Support Your Storyline

Learn how to work on sequencing your photo material. You will be using professional techniques such as pairing, rhythm, rests and repeating motifs.


  • Design And Self-Publish A Beautiful Photobook

Turn a collection of your most cherished photos into a professional portfolio to last a lifetime. Holding in your hands a self-published photo book that you designed and produced is truly a special feeling. You don’t have to be a publishing pro to produce a polished, inviting book of your artwork for others — and you — to enjoy.

So far I am really enjoying the course, it offer a simple and straight forward approach to making your own book. For those that have not made a book before, it offers a great starting point.

The screen is not clear. She identifies issues with loading images but doe not sound confident in how to address them. It seem smore like good luck than good management.

Bookify is simple version of BookWrigh. If you want to learn to create a photo book, direct go to bookWrigh section, you can learn all function there. Bookify section is too cumbersome. Speaker spent lots of time to comment on her own photos and repeat whole process until whole book's design done.

The instructions are clear and you know she is aware of some of the problem that may occur. There is a small language barrier. However, I just repeat the sections.

This is complete step by step course that takes you from beginning to print! I love all the details and information presented in this course, I stopped it several times to go back over the work. A lot is covered in this course, I was not able to do it in one sitting due to other obligations. If time is not an issue one can have a book done in a few hours!

After reading the title of this course, I thought it wa not something tha I would consider. After having gone through the first few lectures, I was so captured that I could not stop until I have gone through all the lectures. Again, Kasia's style of delivering is so engaging and makes something which I thought impossible so interesting that I cannot wait to start producing my own Phot Books. Thanks again Kasia for a fantastic course.
