The Photobook Phenomenon

with Brian St. Denis

The photobook has emerged in recent decades as an accessible (and collectable) way for photographic artists to communicate their projects and ideas.

In this talk, Brian St. Denis (manager of CONTACT Photobook Lab, Toronto's only photobook-specific shop) will highlight inventive approaches to the printing, publishing, and definition of photobooks, as well as sharing insights and considerations for making and publishing a photobook of one's own.

Admission is free but the space is limited to 30 people only. Please RSVP here:
