With more than twenty-five years of experience as an editor, creative director, and book packager, Alan Rapp runs a book services consultancy, collaborating with photographers, artists, and designers to create books and special projects. He has worked with artists such as Bill Armstrong, Cig Harvey, Elinor Carucci, Jona Frank, David Maisel, Eirik Johnson, Pamela Littky, and the late Jim Marshall to bring their work to book publication. Through panels, lectures, workshops, and portfolio reviews, Alan helps inform photographers about the conventions of photography books and their market.

Alan is available for consultations on the creative and practical aspects of photobook making: including concept development, editing and sequencing, crafting successful proposals, design direction, exploring the different publishing options, and planning effective marketing and promotion strategies.
