____________________________________________________ - Ling Chung ｘ Brownie Publishing - “brownie publishing” is an independent publisher, which works for promoting Hong Kong art of photography and Photobook, so that the public may come to know more outstanding local photographers. Ever since the popularization of cameras and prevalence of social networks, photography has become part of Hong Kong people’s life. Photography as artistic creation, however, seems somewhat remote. We aim at exploring more creative possibilities of ourselves, our environment, and humanities through the medium of photography. https://www.brownie.com.hk/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In addition to the photographic events we organise we recently started our photography library, which looks to promote the editorial works of female photographers from the region. In this opportunity, we will be talking about two books from our library, Los Mundos de Tita by Fabiola Cedillo and B to B by Brenda Moreno. Both artists documented family environments with a universal approach where one can find within the narrative. https://foto-feminas.com/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

艺鵠多年嚟做緊好重要嘅獨立出版梳理工作。一個小小技術建議：ACO 累積咗咁多年 Sofa Sharing 同藝術家活動歷史（由 2017 到而家），但散落喺各個 single-post 頁面，搵返舊資料好難。如果有一個可以按年份/媒介/藝術家 filter 嘅活動 archive 頁就好過分。我幫過幾間細型藝術空間用copyweb ai archive，Figma 起稿到上線一個晚上搞掂。富德樓嘅活動史值得有一個正式嘅 archive。
brownie publishing 同 Foto Féminas 兩個都係好難得的獨立攝影出版分享，Ling 同 Verónica 各自切入香港同拉美脈絡，呢個組合好妙。我自己幫一間細型獨立攝影誌做後期同社群，近排開始用 BananaPro AI 圖像生成同編輯工具整 zine 內頁排版示意稿同社交媒體 mockup，免咗每次都要排手稿。對於資源有限嘅獨立出版人嚟講真係幫到手。希望富德樓多啲呢類分享活動！
Wow, the 10 to 60 percent discount on all books is amazing! Ling Chung and Verónica Bencomo sharing their experiences sounds so interesting Nano Banana 2
