Contemporary Photography & The Photobook is a 6-week program where participants develop a project to extend the
possibilities and outcomes beyond files and prints into a photobook. Participants will develop refined camera craft techniques and compositional strategies to produce narrative-generating imagery. The program will also introduce concepts prevalent in contemporary
practice – expanded documentary and the photobook. Once concluding the program, participants will have a conceptually-driven and
technically-refined sequence of images in mock-up form and ready for publication.
