Everything Is Photograph offers a sweeping and intimate portrait of André Kertész, tracing the life and work of a man whose vision helped define modern photography. Born in Budapest in 1894, Kertész’s journey carried him from the cafés of Jazz Age Paris to the bustling streets of wartime New York, through periods of acclaim, obscurity, and reinvention. This biography presents a detailed exploration of both his personal and professional life, revealing the hardships, triumphs, and enduring curiosity that shaped his art.
Kertész was a pioneer in embracing new technologies and approaches. He was among the first to see the potential of the Leica camera, forever linking the instrument to street photography, and he helped establish the language of subjective photojournalism, producing one of the earliest influential photo essays. Over his career, he captured more than 100,000 images, each marked by a distinctive combination of formal rigor, emotional depth, and subtle humor. His work explores human connection, self-expression, and the mysteries embedded in everyday life, making ordinary moments resonate with extraordinary clarity.
The biography delves into Kertész’s complex personal history, from the traumas of World War I to the shadow of the Holocaust, and from tangled romances to professional rivalries with contemporaries like Brassaï and mentorship of figures like Robert Capa. It illuminates the resilience and adaptability that allowed him to navigate both the glamour and the hardships of the photographic world, including his years working for House & Garden and his later resurgence during the 1960s photo boom.
Through archival research and interviews, the book brings Kertész vividly to life: a man of Old-World charm, occasional mischief, and profound artistic insight. Everything Is Photograph is not only a biography but a meditation on photography itself — a medium capable of narrating identity, exploring perception, and connecting people across time and place. It immerses readers in the aesthetics, culture, and humanism of a lost photographic era, while celebrating the enduring influence of one of the medium’s most innovative and generous visionaries.
Eastman Kodak, the company which pioneered so much in photography from the 1880s through the 1960s, could have owned digital imaging; the very first electronic camera was born in one of Kodak's labs. Instead, they missed that boat, going into a tailspin that resulted in their eventual bankruptcy. Tied to that economic engine, the fortunes of Rochester, New York, the archetypal company town where Kodak had its headquarters, fell as "Big Yellow" collapsed. Catherine Leutenegger's attentive, deadpan studies of Rochester today explore the face of a city once central to photography but now irrelevant and adrift.
Seasons of Time is an intimate photographic exploration of transformation, identity, and the passage of time. Through deeply personal imagery, photographer Nathalie Rubens presents a visual dialogue between two interconnected yet profoundly different stages of life: the emergence into young adulthood and the transition into post-menopausal womanhood. The project brings together portraits of Rubens and her daughter Ruby, creating a powerful meditation on aging, family bonds, and the cyclical nature of human experience.
“It’s unclear who first said, ‘The best camera in the world is the one in your hand,’ or words to that effect, but most of the photographs in this book are the result of having one, or sometimes two with me while on brief holidays or visiting people around Britain.” – Berris Conolly

In the winter of 2021, Luke Oppenheimer arrived in the Tien Shan mountains of central Kyrgyzstan with a straightforward assignment: document the wolves that prey on livestock in the remote shepherding village of Ottuk. Each year, wolves descend from the high ridges to kill dozens of horses and countless sheep. For families whose wealth is measured in hooves and wool, these losses are catastrophic. The men ride into the mountains during the harshest winter months to track and hunt the predators, navigating blizzards and subzero nights in defense of their herds.
Spanning more than a decade of journeys and visual discoveries, Stories Untold is the ambitious new publication by internationally acclaimed photographer Calla Fleischer, a traveler whose lens is guided as much by curiosity as by empathy. Expansive in both scale and spirit, the nearly 400-page volume gathers a rich tapestry of images that explore the subtleties of the human experience—from fleeting gestures in crowded streets to quiet, contemplative portraits that linger long after the page is turned.
The Inner Passage: An Untold Story of Black Resistance Along a Southern Waterway is a groundbreaking photographic and historical project by Charleston-based photographer Virginia McGee Richards, published by MIT Press in April 2026. The work uncovers a little-known chapter of American history, revealing a 300-mile network of colonial-era canals—called “cuts”—dug by enslaved people between the 17th and 18th centuries along the Atlantic coastline from Charleston, South Carolina to St. Augustine, Florida.

Instead of foregrounding destruction, Matar centers creativity, dignity, and resilience, crafting a body of work that quietly insists on the complexity of everyday existence amid uncertainty.
"Another Time, Another Place" is an homage to New York City in the 1980s, when it was raw, chaotic, and alive with possibility. Downtown Manhattan was a place where art, music, performance, and nightlife collided—igniting a cultural revolution that still echoes today.
