This module is designed to introduce you to a set of photographic cultures identified as self-publishing, amongst which the photobook occupies a central stage.
The photobook has been developing since the conception of photography, and has been strongly associated with the artist’s book. As printing technologies develop towards a networked model, photobook artists adapt their practices to make use of the advantages offered by print on demand (pod) and electronic publishing models.
We will study this relationship of the photobook to printing and publishing technologies, through seminars, workshops and artists’ presentations.
The module aims to provide a critical overview of photo publishing cultures, that spans the photobook genre (historical photobooks, contemporary formats, including print on demand and eBooks) while additionally allowing you to practice specific photo publishing skills (e.g., structuring of the visual book, book binding, and InDesign for printing and epublishing), as well as writing and theorising the field from a critical perspective.
Good Afternoon Paula.
I didnt seem to get my essay back with feedback, i wondered if it was possible to maybe email me them back? Also i remember you mentioned an issue with my e.pub version and wanted to make sure i could still hand it in as i presented it to you in previous weeks.
Thank you for your time, help.

hi hannah, you were absent all the times i tried to give it back to you
the feedback is written on the proposal so you need to collect it from my office. the same thing with the feedback for your digital files
the two main issues you need to address in your paper are
1- the focus of your essay topic- you refer al lot to the amateur photobook? is this your angle? if so, make it the focus of your research paper
2-the referencing and acknowledging of your sources
best regards, paula
