The Making of a Photo Book Course
About this episode
In this episode, Bob Patterson interviews Ashley Riffo about the challenges and lessons learned in creating a self-publishing photo book course.
Creating a photo book taught us far more than we ever expected. Creating a course about it taught us even more. In this episode, Bob Patterson interviews Street Photography Magazine publisher Ashley Riffo about the making of our new self-publishing photo book course. We talk about why the course exists, some of the challenges of book making & course making, the lessons we learned from publishing "Where the Streets Lead", and what we'd do differently next time. Along the way, Bob shares what he's been up to since retiring as SPM's publisher, offering up stories from his recent trip to Japan, a glimpse into his new Substack, "Beyond Street Photography", and reflections on creating a personal travel zine. We also share thoughtful feedback and advice from a few photographers who have self-published books includeing Craig Litten, Debby Cole, and Wayne Campbell. They all agree: Self-publishing a book is a lot of hard work, but totally worth it. If making a photo book has been sitting on your "someday" list, this conversation is for you.
