Every collaboration finds its own rhythm. Sessions are available online for a focused 1:1 wherever you are, or in person — in the charming spaces of a historic wallpaper factory, surrounded by books, samples, and the kind of quiet concentration that good work deserves. And if the stomach starts to rumble, the canteen is right next door — serving delicious food, and frankly not to be missed.
Need help with your book concept?
Finding a visual storyline that fits a book's approach is essential. Every project has its own inner logic — and the work begins with looking closely, listening carefully, and understanding what truly drives yours. From there, the question becomes: how can this content be brought to life visually? How can individual artworks be framed, ordered, and presented in the most compelling and coherent way? A strong concept is more than an aesthetic choice; it's the backbone of the entire book. Finding the right layers of presentation — the rhythm, the tone, the visual language — can make your body of work feel more profound, more intentional, and more accessible to the reader. Every detail matters, from the first page to the last. We can work through this together in a focused 1:1 online session, or meet in person where you can browse through a curated selection of books and materials for direct inspiration.
Need help with editing and sequencing?
Having designed photobooks for over 15 years, I have a sharp eye for selecting the strongest images from a pool you may have been swimming in for a long time — and where it's easy to lose perspective. Sometimes the hardest part isn't making the work, but knowing which images truly carry it. Good editing means making brave decisions: letting go of the familiar and trusting what the work actually needs. And sequencing is its own art form. The order in which images appear shapes the emotional journey of the reader, creates tension and release, and builds meaning beyond what any single image can do alone. Done well, it can elevate your work to an entirely new level. Whether you prefer the flexibility of a 1:1 online coaching session or an in-person meeting where we can physically lay out and move images together, I'm happy to work in whatever way suits you best.
Need help with finding the right materials?
The physical qualities of a book — the paper, the cover, the binding, the finish — are not afterthoughts. They are part of the message. I have a strong overview of what's available on the market and a sensitive instinct for what will best suit your specific book concept. Whether you're drawn to something tactile and raw or refined and minimal, I can help you navigate the options and find materials that feel right — not just visually, but in your hands. This is especially rewarding to explore in person, where you can feel and compare real samples and reference books side by side — though a 1:1 online session can also be a great starting point for narrowing down directions together.
Need help with your PDF short portfolio?
A strong portfolio means being ready when opportunity comes knocking. In the art book world, the right introduction at the right moment can open doors — to publishers, to curators, to grant committees. A well-crafted PDF portfolio presents your work clearly and confidently, tells your story in a concise and compelling way, and makes a lasting first impression. Whether you're applying for funding, submitting to a publishing house, or simply want a sharp document to share when the moment arises, I can help you put together something that truly represents your work. We can develop and refine it together in a 1:1 online coaching session, or work through it in person with reference materials and examples close at hand.
Need help understanding the art book world a little better?
The photobook world has its own rhythms, networks, and unwritten rules — and navigating it can feel overwhelming, especially from the outside. I'd be happy to guide you through how the art book market works: who the key players are, what publishers are looking for, how projects get funded, and what realistic next steps might look like for your specific situation. With over 15 years in this world, I've built relationships with publishers, editors, and institutions that I'm happy to share. Sometimes knowing who to talk to — and how to approach them — makes all the difference. These conversations work beautifully as a 1:1 online coaching session, or in person surrounded by books and references that help make the landscape feel more concrete and navigable.
