At Lumina Printwork, I guide artists through the key decisions that shape how their work translates to the printed page. Creating an art book is a balance of creative collaboration and technical precision. Let’s connect to explore how we can bring your project to life.
FOR ARTISTS
CREATIVE DIRECTION
An art book is more than a collection of images—it’s a visual narrative. I work closely with artists to refine the selection, sequence, and design so that the flow of the book reflects their vision. Careful attention to color, layout, and pacing ensures that the final publication feels cohesive and true to the work.
TECHNICAL AND PRODUCTION DETAILS
From file preparation to image proofing, technical precision is essential. I guide artists through image color correction and proofing, paper selection, printing methods, and binding options, ensuring color accuracy and material quality meet professional standards.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
Creating an art book involves strategic budgeting. I help assess print quantities, edition sizes, and production methods that align with financial goals—balancing cost, quality, and market reach.
RIGHTS AND PERMISSIONS
Copyright, image use, and reproduction rights must be handled thoughtfully. I assist with understanding permissions, credits, and the steps needed for proper publication, including ISBN registration when relevant.
PROFESSIONAL CONTEXT
An art book can serve as documentation, a portfolio, or an extension of an artist’s practice. Together, we consider how each publication supports the artist’s broader body of work and long-term career goals—bridging creativity with professional presentation.
AUDIENCE AND DISTRIBUTION
An art book’s impact depends on who sees it and how it’s shared. I help artists consider their audience, whether that’s collectors, galleries, or general readers, and guide decisions around distribution, marketing, and presentation. From limited editions to broader print runs, these choices shape how the work is received and remembered.
