A photograph is not a photograph (unless you are holding it in your hands) is a live storytelling event where selected photographers describe the story of how one of their favorite photograph was made and then explain the process of creating the physical print of the image.
In an age where we have become accustomed to consuming images on pocket sized devices for a few short seconds, this event attempts to wrest back and re-enliven the power of the photographic medium by taking the audience along on the photographer’s journeys and by revealing some of the technical choices and skills required to make the final photographic print. A preference is given to analogue photographic prints but digital prints aren’t excluded.
The inaugural event will include 8 invited photographers each of whom will speak for 8 minutes. A vintage darkroom printing timer will be used to measure the time.
