PHOTO BOOK PRESSURE COOKER
In this intensive, hands-on workshop, you will work with your own selection of images from a project of your choice to cover all aspects of a photo publication; from selection to printing a small publication. Given the limited time, it is not possible to produce a comprehensive dummy or publication, but you will get new ideas to take home with you to continue working on your project. The aim of the workshop is mainly to gain insight into the working process of making a photo book. This could be to clarify your ideas, gain insight into the structure of your project, pitch your project or for the release of your publication.
Jan Rosseel
Jan Rosseel holds an MFA in Visual Arts, School of Arts KASK & Conservatory, Ghent, Belgium and a BA Design from the Royal academy of arts in The Hague, The Netherlands. He also studied photojournalism at the Danish School of Media and Journalism in Aarhus, Denmark and Chinese language and Culture at Leiden University, The Netherlands and Shandong University, China. He was the first artist to be awarded a research fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (NIAS).
His work is best described as visual storytelling, between narration and documentation. He works as a collector of memories using photography, video and objects. The starting point of his research-based projects are historical events and the notion of memory. Stories that do not only reconstruct historical events but stories that also ask questions about the reliability of our memory and our brain. He works as an investigator using methods of scientific research and journalism to build a narrative where fact and fiction coexist.
His pictures have been published in the New York Times, Le Monde, IMA Magazine, Esquire Russia, l’echo, De Volkskrant / Volkskrant magazine, Vrij Nederland, de Morgen, Le Vif, de Standaard / DS Magazine, De Tijd, P/f, PhotoQ, GUP Magazine, Huffington Post and FOAM Magazine and Stern.
He is a lecturer at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague and has been a guest lecturer at Bilder Nordic in Oslo, the Master of Photography AKV St. Joost in Breda and MA Photography Luca School of Arts in Brussels.
