Inge Morath's Method
photography workshop - image selection and design for a photo book
UGM, Strossmayerjeva 6
Saturday, 13 October 2018, 11:00 – 16:00
led by: Kurt Kaindl, photographer and curator
In the accompanying program of the retrospective exhibition Inge Morath, Curator Kurt Kaindl invites visitors to an all-day workshop about creating a photo book. It will be based on the Inge Morath method and is going to reveal the characteristics of Magnum Photos photographers. In addition, we will also learn about Inge's life and work, as they worked closely during the last 15 years of her life, including on the installation of seven exhibitions and the issuing of the same number of monographs.
For this workshop, the work of Inge Morath, in particular, will be used as an example of how to create a – photo-documentary project. During the workshop we will discuss the entire photo book process: Photographing - Text Documentation - Image Selection from the Contact Sheets - Selection of images for use in a book or exhibition - Image Selection and Sequencing for the book - Layout - Printing.
For the workshop we will project contact sheets and pictures of Inge Morath with the beamer but also work directly with photocopies of the photos of Inge Morath. Participants will be able to try out different selections and layout variations themselves, which we will then discuss together. We will follow the entire production process of a book and an exhibition together.
With specially selected photos, Inge Morath's method of taking photographs will also be explained and various examples of her books and articles will be analysed.
The aim of the workshop is, on the one hand, to give an insight into the working methods of Inge Morath, who is a typical representative of the style of the Magnum agency. The workshop will be held in English language.
