How to edit a long term project and turn it into a photobook?

Venue: The Muse

“Do I need to think of the concept of my photobook while I am shooting my project?
Is the photobook’s creative process different of the exhibition’s one?
Why is editing the most crucial step in creating a successful photobook?”
