Learn how to arrange your images, whether you’re in the early stages of a project or refining an existing body of work for creating a book, zine, or exhibition. This hands-on workshop introduces the art of photo sequencing. Explore how the order, spacing, and relationship between images can shape narrative, rhythm, and resonance.
Some of the Topics You’ll Learn
- Fundamentals of Photo Sequencing
- Principles of Image Relationships
- Visual Flow and Viewer Experience
- Editing and Building a Cohesive Body of Work
- Structuring and Sequencing a Complete Project
Throughout the workshop, we’ll break down what sequencing is and how it works, from understanding how viewers naturally move through a body of work to using that knowledge to guide, surprise, and engage them. You’ll explore key concepts like emotional pacing, visual flow, chronology, and the powerful ways images influence one another, gaining insight into how meaning is created not just within a single photograph, but between them.
This workshop is highly interactive and encourages active experimentation. Participants will work directly with printed images (your own or provided) to practice editing, grouping, and sequencing in a tactile, intuitive way. Through a series of guided exercises, you’ll learn how to refine a selection of images, identify key anchor points within your work, and begin constructing a compelling sequence from beginning to end.
We’ll also explore broader structural approaches and how to shape a project with a clear vision. You’ll learn how to create a sense of movement that carries a viewer through your work. Along the way, you’ll receive feedback and collaborate with others. This workshop will give you practical tools and new perspectives to help you present your images with clarity and intention.
Participants are encouraged to bring small printed images (approximately 4x6) to work with during the session, though materials will also be provided.
This workshop builds on the Photo Projects: Finding and Starting a Photo Project session, but prior participation is not required.
