We will be hosting Ffoton Socials every second and fourth Thursday of each month: one being a small, friendly and supportive Community Discussion social between twelve people; and the other with a guest speaker talking about their work or services contributing to the wider photography community.

These online Ffoton Socials are not only a unique opportunity for those new to or studying photography to meet and engage with other photographers in a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment but also offer a platform to build new relationships for ongoing discusson, advice and personal & professional development.

Monthly Community Discussion Socials are free to join but limited to twelve participants on a first-come first-served basis.

Euan Ross - photographer and founder of Biblioscapes.com

Euan Ross is a Glasgow-based photographer and founder of Biblioscapes.com - a website and Podcast which he describes as "the digital library of my personal collection of photobooks".

Euan is being modest - we think the Biblioscapes website is more than that!

Biblioscapes hosts an extensive and growing library of video flip-throughs of the photobooks in Euan's collection with new entries added weekly. In late 2020, Euan added a 'In Discussion' section to the website - a Podcast in which he talks with the artists, photographers, book designers and publishers who have worked on the books in his collection.

Euan will share his background in photobook collecting and the fascinating ‘origin story’ of Biblioscapes and its ongoing development with a new Podcast series. There will be an audience Q&A and discussion.
