Som en del af deltagelsen på Copenhagen Photo Festival præsenterer Vera Skole for Kunst og Design en artist talk af den internationalt anerkendte danske fotograf Joakim Eskildsen.

Joakim Eskildsen har en særlig interesse for natur såvel som sociale og politiske temaer, ivrig efter at forstå den verden, han lever i. Hans arbejde vises internationalt på museer, gallerier og kunstmesser. Han uddannede sig hos kongelig hoffotograf fru Rigmor Mydtskov, og han blev uddannet på Aalto-universitetet (tidligere University of Art and Design) i Helsinki, hvor han lærte håndværket at bookmaking.
Joakim har produceret adskillige monografier af sit arbejde og i øjeblikket arbejder han på sit langsigtede projekt Home Works som startede da hans første barn blev født, samt på sit seneste projekt med fokus på de øko-sociologiske udfordringer i hans umiddelbare omgivelser: Intet Særligt.

“Eskildsens fotografier er intet mindre end upåklagelige”, som kritikere har sagt.
