Description

Bookbinding for the Photographer: Sequencing, Printing and Binding Methods

Through class discussions, demonstrations and individual research, students will form a personal vision of what their images mean in the book form. Our focus will be equally on content, concept, production and technique.

Over the past decade, photography books have seen a resurgence within the art world, this time transcending their original use as survey or catalog to become ideal spaces and platforms to experience and disseminate work.

Through class discussions, demonstrations and individual research, students will form a personal vision of what their images mean in the book form. Our focus will be equally on content, concept, production & technique. The workshop will culminate in each student having designed, sequenced, edited and produced a fully resolved and realized photography book, which are constructed to impress potential clients and gain exposure.
