I made my first zine! What next?

Our take

I recently embarked on an exciting creative journey by producing my first zine, showcasing documentary photography from my past experiences in the U.S. The launch event was a resounding success, where I shared captivating stories behind the images for an hour and a half, engaged with an enthusiastic audience, and networked with fellow creatives. Now, I’m eager to explore my next project, possibly focusing on live music in local bars or stories from the LGBTQ+ community.

I spent some time doing documentary photography in the US back in the day. I put together a zine and hosted an event to do a talk about it. I spoke in front of a crowd for about an hour and a half talking about the stories behind the photos, it was my first time doing that.

Everything went great, I sold some zines, I got to do some networking, and this is helping open some doors for me. It’s also helping me get some photography work.

Since it was such a success, I’m trying to figure out the next project for the next zine/photobook. I was thinking maybe doing a project on live music at bars in my city, something about the LGTQ+ community, I’d love to hear some suggestions for what subject to do next.
