SPE Regional Conference: PHOTOGRAPHERS + PUBLISHING
November 4-5
Light Work
Light Work and SPE's Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are joining forces for this photography conference on the current state of publishing. Photographers are facing a very different world of publishing today with fewer options to work with a book publisher and entirely new opportunities for self-publishing and online promotion. The 2011 conference presents viewpoints from artists, publishers, and bloggers, who have found unique ways to bring the best photography to the image hungry public. Events include lectures, panel discussions, portfolio reviews, book signings, and exhibitions including From Here to There: Alec Soth's America at the Everson Museum of Art. Keynote Speaker: Alec Soth. Honored Educator: Doug DuBois. Featured Speakers: Mary Virginia Swanson, John Gossage, Andy Adams, and more
