Skap din egen fotobok

Blueberry Photography´s new photobook workshop is all about the creation of photobooks, from ideation to production and beyond. Consisting of a week-long intensive workshop, the course will cover the various contemporary publishing models, from indie zines to high quality luxury editions and from traditional photography books to avant-garde photobooks that push the boundaries of the publishing medium.

The course mentor will work in close collaboration with the participants to create a book from one of their own photo projects and will cover each of the essential steps of the publishing process. Topics covered in detail include; concept ideation, image curation, sequencing, layout, design, materials, binding techniques as well as essential aspects of printing, production, distribution and marketing. This photobook workshop is designed for all photographers with a completed photo project (i.e. photography has been completed by the time the course begins) and provides an ideal opportunity to test different book editing approaches before committing to print. Participants will leave the workshop with a print-ready book with which to approach book publishers or use to raise funding for self-publishing.
The workshop is strictly limited to 12 participants.
