Hello everyone!
I'm Karoliina Paatos, a documentarian, photojournalist, photo artist and photo book guy. I'm coming to run a course on documentary work for you, which you will also make into a printed product. For the past ten years I have been shooting a number of interlinked long documentary projects in the US, from which I have worked on exhibitions, films and several photo and artist books. Documentary projects often take the form of books, and the making of a book supports the documentary process. If you would like to see some of my work in advance, you can find some of it on my website www.karoliinapaatos.com. It will be great to be able to follow and work together on your autumn projects. So see you in October!
