From personal projects to publishing a book deal. Best-selling author and photographer Craig Wetjen will give an in-depth insight into the all the ins and outs, from how he developed the idea around his best-selling book ‘Men and Their Sheds’, to photographing his subjects, publishing obstacles, marketing and how he is going about his next book ‘Men and Their Collectables’.

Craig’s photography book production workshop will give you some of the tool’s, tips and tricks and hopefully the inspiration into publishing our own photo book. Even if you don’t wish to publish a photo book on such a grand scale and you just want to produce a photo book this is a workshop for you.

In his workshop I learnt how important my ‘why’ is, when reach out to sitters, galleries and publishes, what to expect when working with each. I now understand timeframes, logistics, budgets, how much work it will be and how rewarding it will be. Don’t talk to friends and family who may nay-say and squash your dreams, talk to Craig he has been there and done it incredibly successfully. Thank you Craig.
