Thanks to technology and advances in book production, the photographic book, or photobook, has become an increasingly popular choice for photographers looking for a way to feature and distribute their work.
With 17 photobooks to his credit, Mark Klett works with participants to examine the current state of photographic book publishing while helping create our own self-published photobooks. We delve into a wide range of topics, including how photographers are using the book form to make personal statements; a photobook’s physical characteristics; basics of design, image sequencing, and editing; types of printing and production methods; local and web-based resources; and various aspects of self-published and small-run photobooks.
Together we examine photobooks produced by contemporary publishers—and put aside plenty of time to work on our personal projects. (Ideally, participants should be intermediate-to-advanced photographers who have at least one group of photographs they would like to publish in a book.) Santa Fe is rich in resources related to photobooks, and we are joined by special guests who are immersed in the world of contemporary publishing. Throughout, Mark addresses each participant’s personal work and leads group feedback sessions.
Spend a week exploring the photobook as a vehicle for personal expression and a means of reaching new audiences for your work.
