The Photobook

Catalog description

Photographers have long seen the photobook as an excellent way to showcase their work. From the mid 1960s art photographers have used self-publishing through methods as simple as a photocopier to disseminate their work. Recent advances in the accessibility of high-quality reproduction capacities have resulted in an explosion of flexible and creative ways for photographers to execute their ideas and contribute to a wide range of conversations. Practical and theoretical course on the photobook. Students learn about the history of the photobook and the multitude of contemporary applications from the major photography publishers such as Aperture, through to the small press and self- publishing and the exciting world of art book fairs. Students also create a handmade photobook and create and order a print-to-order book of their own work.
