Open Call for Photobook Dummies
After two successful editions, the Unseen Dummy Award is back! Heikki Kaski’s ‘Tranquility’ was announced as the winner at Unseen 2013, and his book will be presented with a festive launch at Unseen 2014. This is fabulous and I know so many of you are working on your own photo books, I hope you submit your individual books to this.
Unseen and Lecturis have designed a photobook dummy award to showcase the work of exceptional photographers and designers from around the world and to give them a chance to realise and publish their photobook dummy.

The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine.
