MiamiPhotoFest Presents
Daylight Books, Photobook 101: Editing and Sequencing - Miami Workshop
MiamiPhotoFest will bring you the opportunity to participate in a unique Master Workshop with Michael Itkoff, co-founder of Daylight Books
"Photography has a profound ability to change the way we feel by changing the way we see" - Michael Itkoff
© Daylight books
This workshop educates photographers about the medium of the photo book as a way to disseminate and exhibit their photographic projects.
Designed for both students and professionals keen to make their project into a photography book, projects can be of any nature, personal, thematic, documentary etc. The main goal of the workshop is an edited and sequenced portfolio of images ready to present to publishers. Participants will gain great insight into the world of photography book publishing in general.
Ultimately, the workshop is aimed at refining participating photographers’ portfolios into book-ready propositions and offering direct access to Daylight’s publishers for dialogue supporting demystification of the publishing and book-making processes.
Participants are asked to bring their printed photography projects and any project elements to the workshop where Michael and the group will assist in editing, sequencing, and preparing the project for presentation to publishers and/or for self-publishing.
TUITION: $195
LIMITED TO: 12 PARTICIPANTS
DATE: MARCH 2nd, 2019
LOCATION: Miami, Florida (Miami Design District, exact location will be announced only to participants)
