Teaching
At the moment Studio Asja Keeman is teaching at the FotoAcademie Amsterdam. We teach classes on the processes of creating photobooks and photo exhibitions. The scope of these classes includes printing techniques, the influence of formats and paper choice, and the deployment of third parties like digital lithography, printing houses, and bookbinders. We also provide the students (on request) with Graphic Design advice for their own photobooks, publications, and exhibition designs. Also, (on request) we help students with the translation of their work to the three-demential exhibition space.
