Great news from Mariela Sancari of the Photobook Club Mexico City…
We had our first meeting a couple of days ago! It was really good! We still have to adjust some logistics details but it was great.
We had Alex Dorfsman as our first guest and he showed and talked about his 5 published books. Really interesting! We did a skype with the participants in Monterrey 🙂 it was fun!
Here are some pictures of the event.
I will let you know the date for the next meeting soon!
A book from the shelves of the Coventry University Photography library:
Matt Johnston will be discussing this book, among others, with students in a Photo Book Club meeting next week

Not only is this a great example of how a photography book can be powerful, emotive, challenging and important, but all without a trained photographers image present. Often we forget that many times, your subject is the best person to tell the story.
