Making photobooks
Workshop
Blank Paper School
Skinnerboox
26-30 July 2017
Jesi, Italy / @ wishotLAB
WHAT ?
This workshop is meant to be a synthesis of the process of making photobooks, by going through all of the stages of their realisation, from conceptualisation on to design, production and distribution. Participants will work on the editing and sequencing of the images, as well as on the layout of each book.
WHY ?
The photobook is becoming more and more popular in today's photographic culture. It is not only a means of expression, but also an excellent way of making a photographer's work known to the public.
However making a book is more complex than one would imagine, and one often needs the support of a team of professionals throughout all of the production process.
HOW ?
The workshop will take place within a space divided into three working areas: one for the editing, another one for sequencing, and a third one dedicated to production and distribution. In such an open and polyvalent space, the editors will take turns guiding the participants through the stages of editing and sequencing, while the publisher will help them out with issues of production and design, analysing each case in order to propose strategies of publishing and distribution.
WHO ?
Fosi Vegue, Michele Tagliaferri and Federico Clavarino, three photobook authors with an extensive experience in teaching at Madrid's Blank Paper School, will work as editors on each of the participants' proposals. In the final stage of the workshop, Milo Montelli, art director of Skinnerboox, is going to work with the participants on the production, design and distribution of the projects.
WHERE ?
The workshop will take place in Jesi, a little and beautiful town in the eastern cost of Italy, at Palazzo Santoni . The working space will include two tables for editing, a panel for sequencing, computers and an A3 colour printer to create proposals and examples of dummies on the spot.
