I enjoyed the “Haciendo Libros” class tremendously. I could not recommend it more. Juan Valbuena is not just an awesome editor and photographer, but also an inspiring and fun educator. The class is suitable for anyone with a photobook idea, regardless of the stage of the project.
In my case, the feedback I received was very helpful without being harsh, and Juan’s methodology helped shape an idea into something more tangible. I also discovered resources I hadn’t known about, authors and photobooks I had missed, and possibilities that hadn’t crossed my mind before. We also shared lots of laughs during the classes. The other participants were another very pleasant surprise. I got some great ideas from their work and their comments. However, the class is just an introduction to making photobooks (in Spanish). It would be great to have the opportunity to continue with more classes in a similar format.
