Renowned photographer Brice Gelot is proud to announce the release his first Archives book. This stunning volume offers a captivating journey through his lens, showcasing his unique perspective and profound artistic vision, featuring a carefully curated selection of his most iconic works,

This first archival book represents much more than a simple compilation of images. This book embodies, on the one hand, an attempt to present his thematic work in a tangible and chronological manner, but also to observe an evolution over the volumes. It is an authentic dive into his universe, at the heart of street culture, far from tourist clichés, approaching its dark, intangible side, often invisible, sometimes hidden, or masked by the indifference of society. On the other hand, this book was born from the desire to pay tribute to all the people who crossed his path, with whom he shared rare, sometimes intimate moments, and who nourished his thoughts on crucial themes. Beyond simple visual capture, his objective is to lead the viewer to transcend clichés and familiar street scenes to foster a deeper understanding of different cultures and lifestyles, particularly on the issue of disadvantaged neighborhoods. His photographs aspire to raise awareness, educate and encourage intercultural dialogue by highlighting differences, while breaking down stereotypes that can surround these communities.

The photographs in this book were taken in France, USA, UK, Italy between 2022 - 2023.
Spanning continents and spanning decades, Brice Gelot Archives Book Vol.1 is a testament to his passion for exploration and his unwavering commitment to his craft. Whether capturing the majestic beauty of chaos or the subtle nuances of everyday life, his photographs resonate with depth and authenticity.

Michael Joseph: Lost & Found

By Michael Joseph

Publisher : Kehrer Verlag

2024 | 144 pages

Lost & Found documents a contemporary American subculture of young Travelers through raw, striking portraiture and intimate storytelling. These Travelers abandon home to move around the country by hitchhiking and freight train hopping in a nomadic, transient existence outside of mainstream society. Along their personal journey driven by wanderlust, escapism, or a search for transient jobs, they find a new family in their traveling friends.

The high of freedom, however, does not come without consequence. The black and white portraits are made in public, on the street, using natural light. Individual stories, as a collection, form a greater narrative. Over ten years in the making, Joseph’s portraits reveal the human condition. They capture courage, tenderness, and determination in his subjects that have been largely ignored and unseen.

An incredible book that we highly recommend! All About Photo

Nick Brandt: Sink / Rise, The Day May Break: Chapter Three

By Nick Brandt

Publisher : Hatje Cantz

2024 | 120 pages

Through his widely acclaimed work, English photographer Nick Brandt (1964) addresses pressing environmental issues, consistently highlighting mankind’s impact upon the natural world. His work is truly a fusion of artistry and activism, and he is best known for capturing the majestic landscapes of Africa as well as intimate portraits of its wildlife. Sink / Rise is the third chapter of The Day May Break, an ongoing global series portraying ecological degradation and destruction. This chapter adopts a slightly different approach than its predecessors: taking humans, rather than animals or landscapes, as his subjects. Sink / Rise focuses on South Pacific Islanders impacted by rising oceans from climate change. The people in these photos, photographed underwater in the ocean off the coast of the Fijian islands, are local representatives of the many people whose homes, land and livelihoods will be lost in the coming decades as the water rises. In Brandt’s images, the Islanders sit down at tables, stand on chairs and embrace―all the while, their pinched expressions reveal the desperation of their asphyxiating condition.

Lisa McCord: Rotan Switch

By Lisa McCord:

Publisher : Kehrer Verlag

2024 | 204 pages

Rotan Switch is the first monograph by Lisa McCord, documenting life on her grandparents’ cotton farm in the Arkansas Delta community of Rotan. It takes its name from the community’s central landmark—the railroad switch where farmers loaded their cotton bales onto trains headed out of the Delta. Although it hasn’t been used in years, it remains a potent symbol of the complex intersections of industry and agriculture, of race and injustice. Collected over the last forty-four years, these images and stories are a reflection on the people and places that have taught McCord the meaning of the word home. It is also a self-exploration into her inherently complicated role in this community as both the photographer and the granddaughter of the farm owner.
This publication is a long-term project, constructed from McCord's analog photographs, family snapshots and ephemera. Including, monochrome photographs, color polaroids, and recipes.

Christer Strömholm

By Christer Strömholm

Publisher : Dewi Lewis Publishing

2024 | 296 pages

Christer Strömholm is recognised as one of the major figures of 20th century European photography. Strömholm captured his surroundings in black‐and‐white images that display his integrity, understated humour and a highly personal aesthetic. With an unmistakable sensitivity to human suffering, based on his personal experience, he took photography in a new direction. Sean O’Hagan, writing in The Guardian, has described him “as the father of Swedish photography both for his abiding influence and for his role as a teacher.”
