Bookmaking Online Masterclass with Philip Blenkinsop & Daniel Schwartz
Partner Programs, Workshop | OnlineThe Masterclass–which meets online–addresses the critical period between the last phase of a photographic project and the moment when you decide to look for a publisher. In other words, the period when you need to exercise the author’s authority but still want to listen to those with experience in making books. It aims to define a book that transmits the author’s narrative to the viewer and is in itself an adequate three-dimensional representation of content and proposition.
