“The Photobook as a teaching tool – concept, design, making and marketing”
For our APHE mid-year Gathering, we have put together talks and discussions to get us thinking and sharing photography. We are organising this jointly with Sheffield Hallam University.
The Schedule is as follows:
12:00 – Annual General Meeting over light lunch (Members only)
13:00 – Afternoon talks commence
Mimi Mollica – special guest speaker
Mimi will be speaking about his long-term project Terra Nostra. He will guide us through a selection of the work including a short multimedia piece, and provide us with first-hand insights from the idea conception through to the production of the final book.
He will also talk specifically on the crowdfunding campaign and the balance between doing everything yourself, whilst simultaneoulsy having the backing of my publisher and enjoying the support of many people, friends and colleagues.
He sees the talk as an open discussion with the audience. So as well as answering the questions after the talk, he encourages people to interrupt and engage actively during the actual presentation.

James Corazzo – The Photobook Multiple: This talk will explore the idea that making a photobook is not the making of one book, but many books. It is the artist’s photobook, the publisher’s photobook, the designer’s photobook, perhaps even the editor’s photobook and the printer’s photobook. Creating a photobook is not the making of one photobook, but the making of many photobooks – the photobook multiple
