he San Francisco Bay's salt ponds: A poweful photo story of nature's ability to regenerate and renew Salt of the Earth is a striking monograph, which skillfully captures humanity’s impact on the environment. From ground-level perspectives to aerial shots, Barbara Boissevain’s unique compositions of industrial salt ponds, accentuate the surreal qualities of landscapes altered by human activity. The artist’s intention extends beyond crafting captivating visuals; her work seeks to raise awareness of pressing environmental concerns and inspire engagement in conservation- related activism. Boissevain’s photographs of otherworldly landscapes compel us to reflect on the delicate balance between creation and devastation. Her powerful imagery challenges viewers to reassess their role in shaping Earth’s future, ultimately urging us to confront the consequences of our actions and actively participate in preserving the environment for generations to come.

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Michael Yamashita: The Nature of Japan

Michael Yamashita: The Nature of Japan presents a photographic survey of Japan focused on the relationship between landscape, tradition, spirituality, and daily life. For Yamashita, Japan is also connected to his family background and to years of photographic work in different parts of the world.

Nov 2026 — Taschen

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Peter Lindbergh: Shadows on the Wall (45th Edition)

Peter Lindbergh: Shadows on the Wall focuses on the side of fashion photography that rarely dominates magazine covers: age, experience, and character etched into the faces of its subjects.

A Commonplace Book brings together 59 photographs by Raymond Meeks, selected and arranged by fellow photographer John Gossage. Published by Steidl with The Agency, Hudson Valley, the book presents Meeks’s subdued black-and-white images of the American landscape without a chronological sequence or continuous narrative.

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Mike Mandel: Myself

Mike Mandel: Myself is a revised edition of Mandel’s first photobook, originally self-published in 1972. The project, titled Myself: Timed Exposures, began in 1971, when Mandel set out to make “self-portraits” by placing himself in public situations with strangers. He was influenced by Lee Friedlander’s self-portraits, the early work of Jacques Henri Lartigue, and the role of chance in Marcel Duchamp’s practice. The book documents a method that combined conceptual planning with unpredictable res

Published with Zander Galerie, Cologne, the volume focuses on her black-and-white street work, which helped define a distinct approach to photographing everyday life in New York.

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Pablo Arroyo: Plates

Pablo Arroyo: Plates, published by Skira, marks a new stage in the career of a photographer long associated with international fashion imagery. After working on campaigns and catalogues for brands including Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Trussardi, and Valentino, Arroyo turns away from the demands of commercial image-making and focuses on photographs with a more reduced approach. The book is the first monograph dedicated to this part of his work. The images concentrate on objects and nudes, presen

Bruce Gilden: A Closer Look

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Bruce Gilden: A Closer Look

Bruce Gilden: A Closer Look revisits the work of one of street photography’s most recognisable figures. A member of Magnum Photos, Gilden is known for photographing people at very close range, often using direct flash to emphasise facial features, clothing, and skin.

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Alex Webb: Walking Blues

Alex Webb: Walking Blues brings together more than a decade of photographs made across the United States. The series covers approximately forty cities between 2010 and 2025, including busy urban centers and quieter residential areas.

His images show cities as places where separate activities and communities occupy the same space, often for only a mom

Susan kae Grant: Night Journey

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Susan kae Grant: Night Journey

Susan kae Grant: Night Journey presents nearly ninety black-and-white photographs based on the artist’s long-term study of dreams. For more than two decades, Grant has used photography to reconstruct scenes drawn from sleep rather than to record ordinary events. Her images include figures, children, animals, objects, and unfamiliar forms arranged in settings that combine recognizable details with deliberately unclear situations. The project began in the early 1990s through Grant’s collaborati

Stephanie Duprie Routh: The Atlas of Invisible Things

Oct 2026 — Kehrer Verlag

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Stephanie Duprie Routh: The Atlas of Invisible Things

Stephanie Duprie Routh: The Atlas of Invisible Things unfolds as a contemplative journey through Morocco, where landscape and identity intertwine in subtle, unexpected ways. Blending photography and prose, Stephanie Duprie Routh constructs a work that feels less like a travelogue and more like an interior map. Light drifts across tiled courtyards, desert horizons, and quiet domestic spaces, revealing how place can shape the contours of self. Each image carries a hushed intensity, as though the a

Stephen Shore: The Mental Image

Sep 2026 — MACK

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Stephen Shore: The Mental Image

Stephen Shore: The Mental Image examines how photographs are formed before they are taken. In this latest book, Stephen Shore considers the role of imagination, attention, memory, and physical experience in the way photographers understand the world. Rather than focusing only on cameras or photographic technique, he looks at the mental processes that influence how an image is anticipated, constructed, and interpreted. The book follows The Nature of Photographs, Shore’s widely used study of ph

Sep 2026 — MW Editions

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Lauren Shaw: Traces of Impermanence

Traces of Impermanence is a photographic project by Lauren Shaw about aging, memory, and the physical changes that affect both people and the natural world. Its starting point is personal. As a child in the American South, Shaw watched her mother carefully apply hairspray and silver glitter before going out, maintaining a precise appearance even while raising children and spending time at Daytona Beach. Her mother’s clothes, shoes, and accessories were also arranged with care, reflecting an effo

Stu McKenzie: Missing Katrice

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Stu McKenzie: Missing Katrice

In Missing Katrice, photographer Stu McKenzie revisits one of the most haunting unsolved disappearances in modern British history. On November 28, 1981, two-year-old Katrice Lee vanished from the NAAFI supermarket at Schloss Neuhaus, West Germany, while shopping with her mother and aunt. She was never seen again. What began as a family outing became a decades-long search for answers. The investigation quickly focused on the possibility that Katrice had drowned in the nearby River Lippe. Y

Jerry Hsu: How About Never

Sep 2026 — MACK

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Jerry Hsu: How About Never

Jerry Hsu: How About Never brings together photographs made in Los Angeles from 2011 onward. The book presents the city as an active presence rather than a neutral backdrop. Hsu’s images record contradictions that define everyday life in the area, placing signs of hope next to evidence of neglect and injury. The sequence moves between quiet moments and scenes of damage, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar and unsettled. The photographs include disfigured fences, discarded toilets,

Harry Gruyaert: A Sense of Place brings together photographs of cities made over more than fifty years. The book includes images from New York, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, Antwerp, Mumbai, and Zanzibar, as well as work from Belgium and France.

Daniel Malikyar: Afghanistan presents more than 150 photographs made during extensive travel across Afghanistan. Malikyar, the son of Afghan refugees, grew up in the United States and returned to the country as an adult.

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Robert Adams: Contact

Robert Adams: Contact presents around fifty of Adams’s photographs alongside their original contact sheets, many of them previously unpublished. The material covers roughly twenty years, from the 1960s to the mid-1980s, a period during which Adams worked mainly with medium-format and large-format negatives before switching to 35 mm.

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: John Baer: The Extraordinary Ordinary: A Memoir in Photographs, 1945–1954

John Baer: The Extraordinary Ordinary: A Memoir in Photographs, 1945–1954 introduces the work of an American photographer whose images remained largely unknown for decades. Baer, who taught himself photography, began making pictures in 1945 after obtaining a Leica from a captured German soldier while serving in World War II.

Walker Evans

Sep 2026 — Thames & Hudson

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Walker Evans

Walker Evans presents a major reassessment of one of the most enduring figures in modern photography, showing him as both a photographer of his time and someone who worked ahead of it. Evans (1903–1975) produced images that remain inseparable from the history of photography and the history of the United States. His subjects are quintessentially American—small-town life, typical buildings, commercial signs, anonymous citizens—but he approached them with the curiosity of an outsider, using an exac

Jo Ann Chaus: Unspoken

Sep 2026 — Kehrer Verlag

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Jo Ann Chaus: Unspoken

Over the course of ten years, Unspoken became far more than a photographic series for Jo Ann Chaus—it evolved into a deeply personal exploration of identity, memory, and transformation. What began as intimate conversations between the artist and her camera gradually unfolded into a visual narrative examining the roles women inherit, perform, and ultimately challenge. Through self-portraiture, Chaus inhabits a cast of familiar female archetypes, exposing the invisible expectations that continue t

Lara Porzak: The Chemistry of Memory

Sep 2026 — Damiani

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Lara Porzak: The Chemistry of Memory

Lara Porzak: The Chemistry of Memory gathers three decades of work into a richly textured monograph that reflects on photography as an act of preservation and contemplation. Working exclusively with analog processes, Lara Porzak approaches the photographic image not simply as a representation of the world, but as a physical object shaped by time, light, and material transformation. Her photographs carry the visible traces of their making, revealing an attachment to traditional techniques that em

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Jean-Pierre Laffont: Rebels with a Cause

Jean-Pierre Laffont: Rebels with a Cause revisits a turbulent and transformative chapter in American history through the eyes of a photographer who arrived in the United States as both participant and observer. Born in France and settling in America during the 1960s, Jean-Pierre Laffont approached the country with the curiosity of an outsider and the sensitivity of someone immersed in its contradictions. Armed with a camera, he documented a generation determined to challenge authority, social co

Pamela Thomas-Graham: Stone by Morning

Sep 2026 — Kehrer Verlag

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Pamela Thomas-Graham: Stone by Morning

Pamela Thomas-Graham: Stone by Morning is a quiet invocation of Iceland’s elemental power, where geology and myth seem inseparable. In this luminous volume, Pamela Thomas-Graham turns her lens toward a land shaped by fire and ice, tracing how its stark terrain has nourished centuries of storytelling. Basalt cliffs rise like ancient fortresses, glaciers glow beneath low northern light, and distant horizons dissolve into mist. The photographs suggest that the landscape itself is sentient, holding

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Newsha Tavakolian: And They Laughed at Me

Newsha Tavakolian: And They Laughed at Me is a bold and disarming return to the fragile beginnings of a photographer who would later gain international recognition. Instead of assembling a volume of celebrated images, Newsha Tavakolian turns to what she once dismissed as her “eyesores”—photographs made in her teenage years when she began working as a photojournalist in Tehran. Taken at sixteen, in the charged atmosphere of a country shaped by political tension and social constraint, these early

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Irina Rozovsky: Mountain Black Heart

Irina Rozovsky: Mountain Black Heart documents a multi-year journey through the Balkans that began in the summer of 2014. Rozovsky started the project after waking to the sound of a brass band festival in a Serbian mountain village. She went on to photograph in Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania. The book brings together images made across these countries without emphasising national borders, focusing instead on shared landscapes

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Wolfgang Zurborn: Crowds

Wolfgang Zurborn: Crowds brings together photographic archives from the 1980s and 1990s for the first time. During the coronavirus lockdowns, Zurborn scanned hundreds of analogue colour negatives and developed the book and exhibition project Crowds. The period of reduced public activity allowed him to review this material with distance. The resulting images form a layered panorama of a society in transition, focused on the individual within social structures, collective dynamics, and media influ

Ben Marcin: The Holdouts

Aug 2026 — GOST Books

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Ben Marcin: The Holdouts

Ben Marcin: The Holdouts centers on places that persist at the edges of visibility—houses and encampments that remain, resist, or quietly fade in and around Baltimore and Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The debut photobook gathers three distinct bodies of work: solitary row houses that somehow escaped demolition in the inner city; abandoned farmhouses where the last generations have died or moved away; and temporary homeless camps that rarely last more than a year before being cleared or dispersed.

Martin Schoeller: Drag Queens

Aug 2026 — Steidl

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Martin Schoeller: Drag Queens

.i>Martin Schoeller: Drag Queens presents close-up portraits of the most famous drag performers in America, from Brooke Lynn Hytes to Aquaria, using Schoeller’s signature tight framing to strip away spectacle and reveal the inner life of each subject. Over the last two decades, drag has moved from niche corners into the center of popular culture, aided by its photogenic appeal, but good portraits of drag queens must go beyond glitz and glamor to show the essence, diversity, and power of the arti

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Tim Page: Nam Contact

Tim Page: Nam Contact draws on black-and-white archives from the Vietnam War for the first time, revealing unseen images and ephemera from the British photographer who is best known for his color work on the conflict. Edited with Stephen Dupont, the book presents Page’s contact sheets and individual frames from those sheets, alongside diary entries, notes, letters from noted journalists of the era, and other materials from what was called the “first media war”—the first and last war without medi

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Peter Beard: The End of the Game (New Edition)

Peter Beard: The End of the Game remains one of the most influential and unsettling photographic testimonies on the ecological transformation of Africa during the twentieth century. First assembled over several decades, the book combines Peter Beard’s photographs, journals, collages, and reflections into a deeply personal chronicle of environmental collapse in East Africa. Working primarily in Kenya and Uganda during the 1960s and 1970s, Beard documents the devastating consequences of human inte

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Jana Schulz: Tetris B Mountaingoat

Jana Schulz: Tetris B Mountaingoat unfolds as a nuanced exploration of masculinity, vulnerability, and identity through a series of intimate photographic encounters. Based in Berlin, Jana Schulz approaches photography as a collaborative and evolving exchange rather than a detached act of observation. Her images emerge from meetings with men previously unknown to her, where trust and performance gradually develop during the process of photographing. The resulting work occupies a space between doc

Andrea Modica: Italian Story

Jul 2026 — L'Artière

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Andrea Modica: Italian Story

Andrea Modica: Italian Story brings together a forty-year photographic journey through Italy, unfolding as a personal meditation on time, place, and the act of seeing. The work is made entirely with an 8×10 view camera, a choice that shapes the entire approach: the images are deliberate, slow, and grounded in presence, requiring the photographer to return to the same places over decades. This method produces photographs that carry the weight of duration and the sense of a relationship that deepe

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Nigel Grierson: Theatre of Space Vol 1

Nigel Grierson: Theatre of Space Vol 1 collects street photographs taken in London during the early 1980s while Grierson studied at the Royal College of Art. The book pairs these images with an essay by Gerry Badger, a long-time writer on photography, and presents Grierson’s contribution to documentary practice at a moment when British street photography favored natural light and restraint. Grierson’s work stands out for its use of flash in daylight, a technique that read as unconventional at th

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Beate Gütschow: Resistance, Flood, Fire, Resistance

Beate Gütschow: Resistance, Flood, Fire, Resistance. examines the visual aftermath of environmental and social upheaval through a body of photographs shaped by patience, distance, and sustained observation. Rather than documenting catastrophe in the immediate moment of crisis, German artist Beate Gütschow arrives weeks later, when media attention fades and landscapes begin to absorb the traces of destruction. Her photographs depict villages scarred by forest fires, regions transformed by floodin

Daido Moriyama: How To Tokyo At Night immerses readers in the restless atmosphere of Tokyo after dark through the unmistakable visual language of Daido Moriyama.

Andre D. Wagner: New City, Old Blues presents a decade-long portrait of New York shaped through observation, proximity, and lived experience. Since settling in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in 2011, Andre D. Wagner turns his attention toward the everyday rhythms of the city, photographing moments that often pass unnoticed within its constant motion. His work emerges from sustained engagement with the streets and communities around him, forming a visual record grounded in empathy and attentiveness rather t

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Rainer Zerback: Metamorphosis

Rainer Zerback: Metamorphosis examines the evolving realities of rural life through a photographic study of the Swabian Alps, a region shaped by both deep-rooted traditions and rapid transformation. For many years, German photographer Rainer Zerback has focused on the relationship between people, space, and historical change, and this series continues that investigation with a measured and observant approach. Rather than presenting the countryside as a nostalgic refuge removed from modern pressu

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Justine Tjallinks: Vision

Justine Tjallinks: Vision brings together a series of carefully composed portraits that challenge conventional ideas of beauty, identity, and representation. Drawing inspiration from the rich visual traditions of Flemish painting, Dutch artist Justine Tjallinks creates images defined by controlled lighting, sculptural poses, and an extraordinary attention to texture and detail. Her photographs unfold slowly, inviting contemplation rather than instant consumption. Each portrait appears suspended

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Robin Bernstein: Mapalakata

GOST Books is delighted to launch Robin Bernstein’s debut photobook MAPALAKATA, a nuanced exploration of landscape, memory, and the layered histories embedded within Southern Africa’s terrain. MAPALAKATA engages with the landscape through a visual reassessment of Mpumalanga province, South Africa, a region positioned on the escarpment bordering Mozambique and Eswatini. The title, meaning “visitors,” is drawn from oral histories and was historically used to describe traders from the East who m

Dayanita Singh: Forget Me Knot

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Dayanita Singh: Forget Me Knot

Dayanita Singh: Forget Me Knot continues Dayanita Singh’s long-standing exploration of archives, memory, and the physical life of photographs. Known for transforming the photobook into an object that can be handled, rearranged, and experienced like a portable exhibition, Singh approaches the archive not simply as a repository of information, but as a poetic structure shaped by absence, repetition, and time. In this new volume, she turns her attention to the cloth-bound bundles that fill India’s

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Lynn Adler: And So We Moved to Petaca

Lynn Adler: And So We Moved to Petaca documents a rare intersection of cultures in the early 1970s, when several counterculture families from San Francisco and New York City moved to Petaca, a small village in Northern New Mexico, to adopt a traditional Nuevomexicano way of life. The village, home to about fifty very traditional Hispano families with roots in the area stretching back over a century, had no schools, no hospital, no stoplights—only one church, one bar, one dry-goods store, and a s

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Frank Gohlke: Measure of Emptiness

Frank Gohlke: Measure of Emptiness returns to print as a quietly powerful meditation on the American landscape and the structures that define it. First published in 1992, the book gathers photographs made by Frank Gohlke between 1972 and 1977 across the vast expanse of the Great Plains. Moving from Minnesota to the Texas Panhandle, Gohlke focused on one recurring form: the grain elevator. These towering industrial buildings, stark and monumental against open skies, become the visual and symbolic

Photographer Monographs and Art Books: Bruce Davidson: Circus

Bruce Davidson: Circus revisits one of the most compelling early chapters in the career of Bruce Davidson, offering a vivid journey into the world beneath the big top. Known for his deeply human approach to documentary photography and his long association with Magnum Photos, Davidson turns his lens here toward the circus, capturing not only spectacle but also the fragile, often overlooked lives that sustain it.
