Strong photo stories need strong strategies to reach the right audience. With the progress of both print and digital media, photography practitioners need to catch up with the hows to share their stories.

Join Brendan Embser, Aperture magazine’s senior editor, who will be flying to Jakarta to give a 2-day workshop in publishing photography. The workshop is designed as a small class for 12 participants to discuss editing, sequencing, and presenting photography. This program is suitable for photo publishers, editors, journalists, and photographers who are interested in publishing their works in the form of books, zines, and websites. We welcome participants of any nationalities in this workshop, which will be conducted in English.
