This year, the festival offers a unique opportunity to present your project to two professionals with extensive experience in art photography, especially within the photo book medium. The invited professionals are visual artist Sara Skorgan Teigen and Finnish photographic artist and photobook publisher Janne Riikonen of Kult Books.
In a private, one-on-one conversation, you can talk about your book project in a trusted environment. Do you feel lost or overwhelmed working on a book that seems like it will never be published? Or perhaps you have tons of material, but don't know where to begin? Then sign up for a conversation and get valuable insight and feedback from a kindred spirit.
