2010 Workshops Richard Renaldi: Introduction to the Photo Book This one-day class will explore the current landscape of the photography book publishing market, and will focus on the process of editing, sequencing and preparing a body of work for publication. Photographer and publisher Richard Renaldi will explain the steps involved in shepherding a project from the portfolio state through to a published book. During the course we will address the questions of what makes a good book, why publish a book, and what considerations go into publishers' decisions about marketability, sales and distribution. Richard will relate his experiences working with Aperture on his first book Figure and Ground, as well as starting his own publishing company Charles Lane Press in 2008. Students should come prepared to share at least one portfolio of 20-30 images that they hope someday to have published. (Please note: This is not a course on book construction or book binding techniques.)
Arlette Kayafas: Working with Galleries Arlette Kayafas, the founder and director of Gallery Kayafas in Boston, has over 43 years of experience collecting contemporary photographers with her husband Gus and 8 years representing them as a gallerist. Her workshop will cover the following topics: how to approach galleries and maintain good relationships with collectors, curators, and other gate-keepers; the importance of marketing, branding, and on-line presence; how to schedule one’s time, creative versus professional; printing collateral materials; what to expect from the marketplace and from a gallerist who opts to represent you; why not all photographers can be represented; and some of your non-gallery options. Olivia Parker: Photo Imagining in the Digital Age
In this workshop with renowned photographic artist Olivia Parker, participants will explore the development of image ideas as well as the technical possibilities in Photoshop that open the door to individual expression. This workshop will help participants address the transition from film to digital tools; however, some working knowledge of Photoshop will enable participants to gain the most from this workshop experience. Participants will be expected to bring their own laptop computers loaded with the appropriate software. Please call or email with any questions before registering for this class.
