The Photobook is an important support as a product that encompasses a photographer's photographic production in different ways (FERNÁNDEZ, 2011). This article raises the following question: how to understand what a photobook is, after all, what makes a photobook a photobook? The justification is because by better understanding the photobook, the process of creating a photographic book from a transdisciplinary perspective becomes more complete, making an impact on the field in question, on the artistic field and on the publishing market. To address this topic, the article seeks to explain the production of photobooks, that is, their development based on an integrative literature review (TORRACO, 2005). To this end, the objective here is to survey the stages of photobook production covering narrative, image sequencing, design and publication. In this way, the article aims to elucidate that photobooks are a support that allows the development of a photographic project that aims to tell a story based on consistent methodologies with different professionals, which allows us to conclude that the use of photography goes beyond the beauty of the images, becoming the protagonist in narratives immortalized in book format.
