Event Description : WORKSHOP "Handmade Photo Books" by Chandan Gomes

The workshop will engage with the nature of the 'handmade photo books' -  characterized by their use of photographs as central to the narrative/structure of a book. The workshop will explore (i) Why context is important (ii) how to edit and sequence photographs and (iii) how different accounts can emerge from the way photographs and text play out within the book. On the second day, books made by the participants will be discussed and Gomes will share a selection of photo books from his library.

Chandan Gomes has studied Philosophy at St. Stephen’s College, Delhi (2009). Themes of beauty, imitation and abandonment interest him as a photographer.
