IPA Awards 2018

A couple of months, I submitted my project Za Granica // Beyond the Border to IPA Photo Awards in the category Non-Professional Documentary  Photobook. I'm ecstatic to say that my book has won first place in the category which feels amazing! I think this is an important lesson for me as well - not to…

Photographic Publication of the Year 2018

Shortly before the final hand in for university, I have also been working on producing two extra photobooks for a competition at Łódź Fotofestiwal commencing in June 2018.

Complications with Final Book

Today, I was meant to be picking up my prints for my final photo book for the deadline next week. I went to Hobs Repro hopeful that I will be met with my requirements and specifications which I have outlined on my last visit. Unfortunately, due to miscommunication, the inserts have been printed as single A3…
