He understands the gift of their materiality and he has invested heavily in how his books look and in how they are made. But Shafran’s investment in book making is also integral to the way he builds his ideas and projects. It is ingrained in a process that sees his photographs, soon after they are made, printed, edited and stuck into the pages of bound volumes that are part workbook, part diary, part aide-memoire..." — David Chandler [Order Workbooks or read more]( [View the full list of bestsellers]( PRE-ORDERS --------------------------------------------------------------- Some Lights Are From Fires Barbara Bosworth Signed copies available!

Kellett’s version of street photography is crisp and dramatically lit, albeit produced with a high-end digital camera on a tripod. About half of the pictures present a view from a high vantage point, highlighting Kellett’s aim to convey how urban environments often create a sense of oppression..." — Arturo Soto [Read the full review]( [Order Cross Road Blues]( NEW ARRIVALS --------------------------------------------------------------- För Agnieszka Sosnowska Agnieszka Sosnowska’s debut monograph, För, is an intimate portrait of the artist’s life and community in a remote corner of East Iceland. Sosnowska was born in Poland and raised in Boston. Coming of age between two countries and disparate cultural identities, she felt neither fully Polish nor American during her youth. It wasn't until adulthood that she moved to Iceland and found the place where she truly belongs.

Through charming illustrations and playful twists, authors Sean Foley and Lukas Birk connect their previous publications, Afghan Box Camera, Photo Peshawar, and Indian Minute Camera Photographers, to tell the story of how the craft also offers avenues for experimentation and fun. [Order Six Tricks or read more]( Hand Colouring Lukas Birk Traditionally, hand-colouring photographs was done when colour film either did not exist or was too expensive. The craft was introduced in Europe in the early daguerreotypes of the 1840s and could already be found in Japan and India in the 1860s. Globally, the demand for this type of treatment vanished with the rise of Kodachrome and other colour films that were available from the 1950s onwards. This Leporello holds a selection of Lukas’ hand-coloured photographs from across the globe and gives simple tips on how to create your own hand-coloured images with oil, crayon or water colours.
