Photobook Conversations

Candid yet profound meditations on photobook publishing from artists, editors, designers and critics working within the disciplinePublished by acclaimed magazine 1000 Words, twice winner of Photography Magazine of the Year at the Lucie Awards, Photobook Conversations foregrounds discussions on a range of positions, practices and politics that shape contemporary photography and publishing. Editors Ana Casas Broda, Anshika Varma and Duncan Wooldridge provide the same set of questions to each interviewee, creating a kaleidoscope of responses. Among the organizations whose activities and ambitions are represented within this volume are MACK, Hydra + Fotografía, Offset Projects, Self Publish Be Happy, Goliga and the Nepal Picture Library. Speaking with hope and humility, the concerns expressed by those who work with the photobook form vary from approaches to editing and sequencing images to questions around the audience and market for photobooks and models for better ecosystems.Contributors include: Valentina Abenavoli, Miguel del Castillo, Bruno Ceschel, Hans Gremmen, Sohrab Hura, Andrea Josch, Luis Juarez, Aneta Kowalcyzk, Michael Mack, Raymond Meeks, Luciana Molinasi, Paul Nilson, Musuk Nolte, Dayanita Singh, Laura El-Tantawy, Ivan Vartanian.
