In this weeks episode we chat to Matt Martin, head curator at Photobook Cafe, Founder of The Photocopy Club and a photographer in his own right. We chat to Matt about his love of Xine culture and methods and ideas for self publishing that are relevant to all photographers. The chat is packed with loads of great resources for anyone interesting in setting off down this road and you’ll find all the links in the show notes.
