Description

A photobook is a self-contained work of art in the form of a book, in which individual photographs become part of a whole, creating a visual narrative and telling a story. This is what differentiates it from the photo album, which merely showcases photographs or series of photographs.

During the workshop we will explore how, in different photobooks, elements like image selection and sequencing, spread composition and layout dramaturgy, book format, design and typography, as well as paper choice, printing and binding – all contribute to shaping a unified work of art.

After the introduction, six participants will have opportunity to present their photographed material. We will look closely at your images and work on concept development, photo selection, image sequencing, and visual narration, helping to form a clearer understanding of your photobook project.

For Whom

The workshop is aimed at both aspiring and professional photographers who wish to develop a photobook. No previous experience with photobooks is required. Basic working knowledge of the English language is expected.

What you Need

Participants need to bring photographed material that they would like to develop into a photobook. Please print your images, regular color laser print on plain paper, no fine art prints necessary. Print 4 to 8 images per A4 page and cut them to size. Keep in mind to bring much more material than the actual book will need, so that there is enough to select from. Bring any additional material you may have for your project.
