With this project, Phoboko will address new ways to value photography. This is a full day workshop to explore Photography and Collaboration. Photography is usually viewed as a medium of individual expression through personalised tool use. However, this workshop intends to explore the inherently social and fluid nature of photography with photobook appreciation, practical and discussion. Together, a group will be introduced to collaborative photography methods and be able to link these to their personal practices of image making. Photobooks will serve as inspiration for method use and also potential ways of producing sets of images for future exposure.
