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?”

The family album

#07

In this edition I discuss four examples of photographers who have used the format of the family album to tell their story. These stories can be highly personal, or they are about the lives of others. We also look at a combination of storytelling formats, to talk about environmental disaster and the impact on the lives of people.
