Webinars: visual storytelling
About the project
Forhanna has partnered with visual story editor/curator Marc Prüst to develop a comprehensive series of webinars that provide photographers the tools they need to professionalise their projects and visual narratives.
This series of webinars (currently 16) focusses on the photobook as a narrative medium and is part of the ‘Tell your story’-program. More on Tell your story.
All music compositions in the webinars were created by Arend Bouwmeester
“How do you tell visual stories in photobooks?”
WEBINAR 15
Editing in practice
#15
In this edition we look at editing and what the essence of visual storytelling is. In this instructive video, Marc uses the images by Carlos Cazalis project Occupy São Paulo to show his method of creating edits based on the idea of the five elements of a narrative: surprise – establish – develop – climax – end.
WEBINAR 14
‘Borders of Europe, a trilogy.’
#14
In this webinar we look at a trilogy: three books by the author Irene van der Linde and photographer Nicole Segers. We look at how their narrations developed over the course of their 20 year-long cooperation and how they together tell the story of the influence of borders on the lives of people in Europe.
WEBINAR 13
Willem Diepraam, Patrick Willocq & Taryn Simon
Dutch master photographer Willem Diepraam published several books in his career. On this occasion of his exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam we analyse Sahel and Landscape at the Sea and compare them to contemporary books: Patrick Willocq’s Songs of the Walés and An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar by Taryn Simon.
WEBINAR 12
Forms of expression
WEBINAR 11
China Imagined at Breda Photo
In our 11th webinar we visit part of the BredaPhoto festival and look at four projects in the exhibition China Imagined and compare how projects that are a road trip, a portfolio and a catalogue in book form are shown as an exhibition.
XiaoXiao Xu’s road trip along the Long Wall, Pixy Liao’s Experimental relationship and Zhang Kechun’s project on the Yellow River are the main focus, and we look at Thomas Sauvin’s exhibition World Park as an extra.
