Yo!
If you've ever wanted to make a photo zine but didn't know where to start, this video's for you. 'How to Make a Photo Zine' details the seven steps I followed to make my zine Dirty Work, from selecting images to Indesign, image sequencing, printing and packaging. Plus I threw in a little bit of screen printing, pigeons and a surprise visit from my local Buddha evangelist.
I tired my best to make this DIY zine guide as helpful as possible, and I'll happily answer any questions about it in the comments. Ask away, and we can all learn together:-)

Excellent work Chris! You put more work into creating the 'how to' than most people making the zine - thus creating a first class product. Champion.

Cheers bro! A labour of love for sure. So stoked I got to send you a copy!
Thank you, seriously been waiting for this kind of video. Most videos are not this in depth. Most ppl skip talking about the process.... They just give steps. So I appreciate this so much! Been trying to make a zine of my own work for about 6 months but haven't yet... Lol

Hey Chris, really inspired to make some prints now! I also really love the layout on your personal website - I was wondering what service did you use to build it?

Thank you for looking! I use Squarespace for my site~ I just used one of their premade layouts and tweaked it a bit. Was pretty easy to set up!
Very informative Chris! Thanks. I’m inspired. Just one question: Where can I get a copy? All your links send me to zines and photography, I can’t find 화광신문 anywhere

Thank you! I’m a working photographer, mostly in fashion and occasionally some editorial. I work freelance but I’ve built a relationship with a few companies so work is relatively consistent~
Great job! I have a question. I am working on my first Zine but I don't know what size my picture should be for my 6 by 8 1/2 Zine. Any suggestions?
@chrisdacanha

If you're measuring in inches I think 1800px X 2700px at 300ppi should work for full bleed. But you can save yourself the guesswork by exporting the largest possible image from your editing software then resizing in InDesign.
Ever made a zine? Let me know where I can see it!
The exact video I needed right now 🥹
