Self-publishing one’s photographs in an on-demand photobook is more than just a fad. For more than two decades, photographers have embraced the process of creating, designing, and outsourcing their bodies of photographic works into small-edition books using various publishing software. By moving their images from the screen to the page, to an object one can hold in their hand, share with others, and memorialize visual projects into “a thing itself,” the photobook is the new paradigm shift for the photographic medium. This online course will introduce the history of the photobook in the context of early 20th century photography to the 21st century, challenging one to ask, “Why the book?” Within this context, the purpose of one’s book will be explored. Surveying and selecting individual images within a series, then editing images into a cohesive body of photographs, will drive the design, including creating dynamic layouts and prototype mock-ups for review. Using presentation software, such as Keynote or PowerPoint, one’s first look will be to critically examine scale, sequence, the visual space of each page, text, and other construction elements to heighten the experience of one’s photographs within the flow of a book. This is not a course on how to use publishing software. As the course proceeds, various publishing sources will be introduced and scrutinized from simple construction options to complex ones. Students will compare their level of skill with these proprietary software sources, selecting the best in regard to which book format has an acceptable degree and “ease of handling.” Further considerations for a publisher will be the design options needed to communicate the book’s purpose, selection of various papers, binding, and of course what is the final cost and turnaround time to hold the book in one’s hand. Requirements for successful completion of the course: Participants need a body of photographic works to create and design their book. The selection of a book design software is cost-free, but publishing costs for one book usually start at about $25 plus shipping. Turn around times are usually 6–10 business days. The course meets online consecutively for five weeks, taking one week off to outsource to publisher. There will be a final online class meeting (6th week) to review and celebrate one’s completed book!

This is a unique opportunity to study with two accomplished and warmhearted artist-educators in the same course. Ken and Stephanie are both well known for their ability to help each person find their own unique drawing abilities. For the first three weeks, Stephanie will introduce you to well-founded drawing techniques by working from carefully selected high-quality past and present master portraits and figures. Beginners are encouraged to start out with pencil or charcoal, while those with more experience may work in other mediums of their choosing. During the last three weeks, Ken will introduce color theory to portraits and figures using watercolor. But you can use any medium of your choice, as Ken also works in oils, acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, etc., and the same color concepts apply to all mediums. All levels are welcome because instruction and demonstrations are given on an individual and group basis. Materials: Since this is an online class, just use the materials you are already comfortable with. You do not need to buy anything on this list. It is just a suggestion: the simpler the better. For gestures, you need only newsprint; a drawing board (a piece of 3/16” thick foam-core drawing support cut to 19” x 25”, with four bulldog clips); very soft vine charcoal; a kneaded eraser; and one color-pastel for accents.

I've attended the 3-day Shaping Freedom event and an Online Goal Setting event that was led by Lisane, and I must say that Lisane has a true gift of speaking life into each attendee with amazing listening skills and insight that is specific to each person's situation and she makes each person feel heard and seen. The life tools that she shares will change your life and she makes them palatable so that you want to take action when you leave. I highly recommend Shaping Freedom's events, they are worth every penny and I will surely be attending more in the future! Thank you Lisane, you are amazing!! PS: I purchased candles and a yogamat, and they are fantastic. I love mv mat so much I'm orderina a second one. -Kathy C. • Gave Me The Jumpstart To Make Huge Changes In My Life. I met Lisane many years ago and always knew that I wanted to work with her. In 2020, in the midst of COVID I was feeling very unfulfilled in my personal relationship and my career. I am use to setting and achieving goals each year, which was difficult to do when the world shut down. I joined Lisane's program and I'm so happy I did. It gave me the jumpstart to make huge changes in my life. With her support, I finally obtained my Crossfit L-1 Trainer Certificate. Something I was trying to achieve for a few years but limiting beliefs held me back. From there it was a domino effect. I moved back to NYC, found my dream job, let go of a relationship that was draining my soul and relocated to Florida to start a beautiful new chapter in my life. Yes, I put in the work but Lisane provided the tools, guidance, support and her beautiful kindness. She hears what you are saying and helps to reframe thoughts so you can continue moving forward. If you are willing to put in the work, Lisane's programs are worth joining. I will forever be grateful. -Cheryl F. Shaping Freedom on Facebook / Instagram
