DESIGN

The design for your mini book comes from collaboration with you and our team.  We all have a different vision. We want to provide a unique experience and create a piece of art that each client will be proud to offer as an end product or gift.  With many resources available to add copy, tangible materials that reflect the mood of your creation, and styles that are attractive and draw users into your creation will help you to see your work in a finished mini book.

CREATIVE PROCESS

I read a statement a while back that helps me to keep this process in check.  It went something like this “You can sell a Monkey reading the newspaper on a box”.  The question is where do you start; 1)teaching the monkey to read? 2) or building the box? We hope you have been learning to read or creating your photographic stories. We have the box. We are not saying you are monkeys, we are saying we have the foundation to take what you have and merge it into a beautiful mini book.

Classes & WorkShops

During the course of the year, we schedule workshops and classes to help every level of creative person create and manage a new design and creative product.

Please stay tuned as we look to schedule a class in the next 30 days. If you are interested please email us at cover@photominibooks.com.

Projects

Project on the Board

Current projects include Cuba and the Children of Honduras. Each book will contain a select number of images that tell a story of life and social situations in areas of the world that most never see.

Clientele

The Team

The team is comprised of several people from various artistic backgrounds. Kevin Shank had this idea of creating mini books from photos and additional creative works rolling around in his head for some time.   Kevin is a photographer that enjoys reading and learning new things all the time.  Kevin has experience in many areas, electrical, computing, travel, meeting people, mechanical, and in general is a guy who will try most anything except skydiving and hot air balloons. Why jump out of a perfectly good plane?

KEVIN/founder

Kevin is an American photography based in Mooresville, NC.  His interest in arts began in junior high school with Ms. Massenburg.  She took Kevin under her wing and kept him from getting into trouble.  The art department was next door to the Journalism class. Mr. Woodward helped Kevin to see the structure of the paper and how layout worked.  He was never in his class per the paperwork but always took every opportunity to visit to learn.  Kevin attended Central Piedmont Community Colledge and took every class that he could to expand his knowledge of photography and artistic applications of it.  Kevin Returned to school in 2017 to get a certificate in Photography with the NEW YORK Institute of Art.  Kevin is working on the final assignment to complete this process. Kevin is a member of PPA and respects the professional ethics this organization represents for the industry.

One of Kevin’s favorite highlights was the privilege to exhibit with Sonia Handelman Meyer in 2014 at the Mint Museum of Charlotte. Visit, and read this interesting article.
