The photo is finished, the series is done – and then come the questions: Where and how can the subject become an interesting publication? How do you create an exciting artistic impression in the booming world of photo books? How do you awake the interest of magazine makers? How important is the text? What roles do print quality and other technical aspects of photo processing play? How do you uphold the photographic subject, for the actual visual theme?
These and more questions about the publishing of photography will be discussed by Celina Lunsford, artistic director FFF, under the title “PRINT MATTERS” with the design professional Victor Balko, the photo editor and photographer Erik Clewe and the DU Magazine photography editor, photography author and curator Ute Noll.
The panel discussion will be held in German.
