Join Rob Hornstra for a one-day intensive workshop for photographers, designers and storytellers who wish to learn how to construct and present long-term photography projects.
As a documentary photographer Rob Hornstra is a pioneer of innovative ways of funding and self-publishing. Using examples of his experience you will learn how to develop strategies for the presentation of specific projects. The topics of the workshop include self-publication of books and newspapers, crowdfunding (do’s and don’ts), financing, marketing and distribution of your work, as well as cooperation with designers, photo editors and curators.
In this workshop, Hornstra will share his insight into the funding and marketing by using The Sochi Project as an example of a self-published photo project. This workshop is about what we all desire as storytellers and photographers: Freedom. Freedom creates opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.
Over the course of a day, he will outline how the Internet and digital printing techniques have opened up endless possibilities for self-published work. The course will also address how to attract an audience to your project, collaboration between photographers and writers, crowdfunding and the process of slow journalism. This workshop’s main objective is to help students in creating independence and become liberated photographers and publishers, ready to begin sharing their stories with the world.
