For our November Photo-Forum we’re pleased to announce two presentations focusing on print and e-book publishing from Mark Esper and Alex McNaughton.

London-based photojournalist Mark Esper will take us from photographs to eBooks. Mark recently launched his first photo book “CONFLICTED: London’s Faces of Protest” for the iBookstore on the iPad. Mark will give us the stories behind the photos, describe how the book was made, its development for iBooks and the lessons he learnt in the process.

Mark is a member of the British Association of Journalists, and works as a freelance photo-journalist and contributor to the New York based photo agency Polaris Images both in the UK and overseas. Mark has been nominated twice for the ANI Coup de Coeur award at the VISA Pour L’ Image photojournalism festival 2010 & 2011. His work has been exhibited at the Palais de Congrès in Perpignan, France. He has been published in Der Spiegel, Süddeutsche Zeitung, The Guardian, Hola, Heres and Cappelen Damm Salg amongst other newspapers.

Alex MacNaughton has been working as a news and features photographer since 1992 when he began photographing the British road protest movement. Since then he has gone on to cover a wide range of subjects in the UK and abroad.

His work has appeared in numerous publications at home and overseas. He has recently had his fourth book, London Tattoos, published. All his books are published by Prestel Publishing. Alex will be showing work from his latest book and talking about the process of getting books published.

Fire regulations limit us to 100 people in Jacobs’ Pro Lounge. We rarely hit this limit but if you can come a few minutes early there’s less chance of being bounced if the evening proves more popular than usual.

As always we’ll raffle prints from the photographers showing their work to help fund Photo-Forum. The raffle pays for food in the pub after the show (so please come along to share a plate and a glass!) with donations to good causes when there’s any left over.

The Photo-Forum raffle is the cheapest ever way to own a print from one of today’s leading photographers, please support it and you could win some great work for just a few pounds.
