Pages In Transit: From Contact Sheets to Book Covers

What turns a long‑term photo series into a finished book—on time, on budget, and in readers’ hands? In this focused one‑hour program, Daylight Books co‑founder Michael Itkoff and photographer Chris Maliwat map the path from contact sheets to book covers, using Subwaygram and IN TRANSIT: Glimpses of Japan’s Subways, 1996 as live case studies.

Come curious—there will be audience Q&A, a Subwaygram book signing, and a special announcement about the future of the popular Subwaygram series.

This will be an in-person only event, held at Soho Photo Gallery's NEW location: 539 West 23rd Street, Chelsea, NYC.
