This workshop will share my motivations for planning and carrying out a book of photographs. Moreover, as a central part of the workshop, I'll do a review of the different experiences I've had in this area. From failed project that never happened to be a model, small projects that came without effort, through the various phases of a project as complex personal and concluding Western China a custom textbook example.
On the second day, as a practical exercise, I will propose to the workshop participants to carry out an edition of my photos. Bring the total number of photos taken on a day to China Xinjiang Western and work together to determine whether my decisions were the right ones or if they could have chosen better.
