The Edit: Sequencing with Dan Milnor

What turns a group of good photos into a story that sticks? In The Edit: Sequencing, Blurb creative ambassador Dan Milnor breaks down how thoughtful arrangement can elevate your photography—and shift how it’s seen, felt, and remembered.

Submit 8-10 images by October 27, then tune in as Dan works through three community submissions live. You’ll hear why he groups images a certain way, how he builds visual flow, and what choices help (or hinder) the story. Whether you’re sequencing for a book, a client presentation, or your own portfolio, this session will help you bring clarity and cohesion to your next project.

You’ll learn:

• How to lead a viewer’s eye and hold attention
• What makes a sequence emotionally resonant
• When to break visual patterns—and when to lean in
• How small shifts in order can make a big impact

Stick around for a live Q&A to get your own sequencing questions answered. You'll leave with new tools to shape your work—and a clearer sense of how to make your images shine together.

Submit your images here for the live event, or tune in on November 3 at 4 p.m. PT | 7 p.m. ET.
