I will be teaching a Photo Book workshop at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA this summer. Provincetown is officially one of my favorite places on the planet. I shoot there in the Spring and Summer and have a solo show in August at the Ernden Fine Art Gallery (post on that to follow).
Here is the description of the class. Feel free to e-mail if you have any questions.

Creating Photography Books: Ideas and Process
AUGUST 10-15
10am-1pm
Open to all
This idea-driven week of exploration will take students through the steps of developing a photography book concept from presentation to publication. Our work will apply to projects to be submitted to a publishing house as well as self published works. We will explore, review and dissect the various types of photographic books including fine art monographs, children's books and photographic gift books designed to reach a mass audience. On the publisher front, there will be discussions on how to research the marketplace to determine your audience, showing your concept visually, editing, sequencing, the art of proposal writing, collaboration with writers and designers and the value of a good title. Students looking to self publish will apply these concepts as well to the creation of their final work. You will leave the class with a sound knowledge of the steps to take to move your project forward.
