Photobook 101
We have partnered with the University of Brighton to celebrate our 30th anniversary and present a day of talks, workshops, exhibitions and photobook launches exploring the art and practice of photobooks. Taking place on 20 November, leading artists, publishers, designers and curators will discuss topics that span concept to production, including vision, sequencing, design, materiality and dissemination of the photobook.
The day will conclude with our 30th birthday, an evening of performance, music, book launches and prizes to help us celebrate three decades of photography.
| Hello Photographers – from Paul and Maria 2025 has been a busy year so far and it’s been really great to see so many of you along the way. And we’ve genuinely enjoyed seeing all the wonderful work that you have been producing both online and off! Thanks to all those who have attended talks, workshops and exhibitions that Paul and I have been involved with and to those who couldn’t be there in person but sent their good wishes anyway. MOVIES ARE JUST STILL IMAGES SHOWN SUPER FAST! Some of you may be aware that I make quite a lot of videos. Stylistically everything from documentary to the more abstract and metaphoric. I love the freedom to mix and merge stills alongside moving images, sometimes together in the same frame, sometimes independently. The creative possibilities are endless. A couple of weeks ago I was approached by a photographer who asked if I would consider running an introduction to video workshop. A second photographer also expressed interest so I began thinking about it. This is something that I would really love to do but I’m interested to know if you would too! VIDEO WORKSHOP – WHAT WOULD I LEARN? Roughly, the workshop would be aimed at photographers who are new (or relatively new) to video. We would use an iPhone to film and edit in a software called Davinci Resolve (it’s free). Exploring both the creative and technical aspects of film making, the workshop would include basic camera filming techniques, importing files into Davinci Resolve, working on a timeline with both still and moving images to create stories, experimenting with text and sound, and exporting the finished product as a movie. The workshop would be designed to be super user friendly and suitable for those who definitely wouldn’t describe themselves as technically minded (that’s me too btw). Well I was blown away by the response to yesterday’s mail out! It’s clear that many of you are keen to take the first steps into video so I’ve jumped into action and arranged a weekend workshop for the end of November. We can only take 10 people so if you are really keen please don’t hang around. But if all goes well I will try to run again sometime next year. Thanks to everyone who responded, booking is open here now Introduction to Video |

Photoworks Annual 32 is coming this November
Photoworks has spent the last three decades supporting artists and individuals creating, curating, engaging with, developing, and thinking about images across the UK and far beyond. Photoworks Annual 32 celebrates this work, including image-makers from the organisation’s past and present, an in-depth history, and insights into its critical initiatives with schools and communities. It also takes a trip through photography’s archives with the Desert Island Pics, and cutting-edge thinkers on where the next 30 years will take image-making. Read more
