ISSP About ISSP 2013 workshops Workshop no.4 W 4 Follow Your Conviction. Working with the Media by Yuri Kozyrev & Andrei Polikanov (RU) Even in these hard times when the printed media has partially lost its position as the "golden client" and chief consumer of photojournalism, it keeps on looking for great photography, untold stories and charismatic photographers willing to provide them. This workshop gave practical knowledge about a variety of aspects of the photojournalistic industry. During the workshop, the students produced photo stories in Kuldīga or its surroundings, defining the theme according to their interests and convictions. Workshop No.5 W 5 The Photobook: Going Beyond the Form by Teun van der Heijden (NL) This workshop was an open dialogue with the students about the concept of a photobook as well as the practical aspects of creating it. A close collaboration between a graphic designer and a photographer is essential for the creation of a good photobook. As an experienced graphic designer, Teun van der Heijden took the role of a storyteller next to the photographer, daring his students to turn their projects into unique publications. The results of the workshop are individual handmade editions. Workshop No.6 W 6 A New Approach to Autobiography by Elina Brotherus (FI) Self-portraiture is a tricky and charged subject matter. In this workshop, Elina Brotherus and students discussed various aspects of autobiography, trying to go beyond the ordinary self-depiction. Individual work alternated with working together in the group and sharing time, images and experiences with each other. The task was to select and illustrate special moments from the students’ recent personal diaries. This workshop took place in frame of international Contemporary Self-Portraits project, bringing together students from the Turku University of Applied Sciences (Finland), Estonian Academy of Arts, National College of Art and Design in Dublin (Ireland), Bildmuseet of Umeå University (Sweden) and ISSP (Latvia).
