Literary event: Photography Books in Sweden, Past and Future

One of the strongest trends within photography today is the great interest in photo books. There are a number of reasons why so many photographers choose to show their works in book form. Technical progress is an important aspect, and with the rise of digitalisation it has become both easier and cheaper to produce books with exceptional image quality. Books also provide the possibility for photographers to decide for themselves how the images are presented and compiled.
