Info

We are very glad to inform you about a first in the upcoming series of
ISSP photography education workshops in Riga. This one is organized in
cooperation with Berlin Photography Workshops.

A workshop by Kai-Olaf Hesse

PHOTOWORKS PRESENTATION: SEQUENCE, CONTEXT & STRATEGIES

OR HOW TO GET YOUR WORK OUT IN PUBLIC

2 days | 4-5 December 2009 | 10:00 - 18:00

Applications admitted till 20 November 2009.

The workshop addresses the prerequisites for the content and design of
an image series, or sequence, which shall be brought together to come up
with best possible form of presentation - projection, exhibition, book,
or other - for the respective body of work. Beyond the technical
requirements, the most decisive criteria for a successful presentation
of photographs is the choice of the subject matter/topic and the
corresponding structure of the images - sequencing - as well as the
selection and design of the materials for the final set up.

The workshop will discuss possibilities and critical aspects in regard
to the presentation of photographs on the basis of participant's ready
works.

For whom?

A small group of maximum 12 students: professional photographers,
students of photography and art, artists using photography, individuals
with a multimedia background, interested amateurs and other interested
parties with knowledge of photographic practice.

Each participant will bring a body of current (or previously finished)
work that they plan to develop into an exhibition or a book/publication,
to be discussed in course of the workshop.
