Photobook: inside the process.
Workshop with Mariela Sancari.
In this intensive workshop, we will devote ourselves to find strategies to communicate the experience we want to convey, considering the book as a medium. We will focus mainly in conceptualizing and editing each participant’s project, as well as exploring materials and layouts.
Aiming to produce a dummy, we will address all the stages related to creating a photobook: from the idea to the sequence, design, selection of format and size up to the technical decisions regarding printing and binding and the different ways to finance and promote our book.
We will also review a wide variety of acclaimed photobooks with a critical approach, considering and analyzing the decisions the author made in order for the book to be successful, both in terms of the concept and its resolution.
