Photography Workshop in Cologne in November


Workshop with Rineke Dijkstra
Over the weekend of November 24 and 25, working with photographer Wolfgang Zurborn and curator / galerist Tina Schelhorn, I will be conducting a small in numbers, intensive and focused photography workshop. 
We will be dealing with the two main issues all photographers face. First, how to cut through the average and ordinary and develop a strong voice of ones own, and having done that how to objectively evaluate and edit the images that result. Second, how to get work out into the world, with a particular emphasis on the photobook, editing, sequencing, production and distribution.

Over the course of 20 years or more I have had published over 35 photobooks. A number with editors in Germany, Britain and France. Other books self published under my own imprint FAQEDITIONS.
I have also conducted successful workshops with Antoine d’Agata, Peter Bialobrzeski, Louis Baltz, Slavica Perkovic, Alec Soth, John Gossage, Rineke Dijkstra, Paul Graham, Todd Hido, Pieter Hugo and curator Quentin Bajac.

I'm looking forward to that last weekend in November in Cologne. It's going to be a full-on, action packed two days. Fun too!
