Steve Schapiro: Jazz brings to light a largely unseen archive of 1960s jazz photography taken just before Steve Schapiro’s breakthrough as one of the decade’s leading social documentary photographers. The book, titled Jazz: Best of the Apollo, Village Vanguard, and Riverside Sessions, gathers rare images from the Apollo Theatre, the Village Vanguard, and Riverside Records sessions, capturing the genre’s top figures during a golden period in New York.

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

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.

The publication of Harry Gruyaert: New York marks a significant archival contribution to the visual history of the American metropolis, documenting over five decades of metropolitan evolution. Gruyaert, a member of Magnum Photos known for his sophisticated command of color and light, utilizes the city as a chromatic laboratory. This large-format volume organizes ninety-five illustrations into expansive double-page spreads, a design choice that emphasizes the cinematic scale of the urban environm

The sociological and aesthetic dimensions of attraction are subjected to a rigorous analysis in Sexiness: The Secret of Irresistible Charm. Written by cultural commentator Nils Ketterer, the volume operates as an investigation into sexiness not merely as a biological impulse, but as a potent cultural currency and a tool of social influence. The text categorizes the various manifestations of charm across different historical epochs, moving from the curated glamour of mid-century Hollywood to the

History of Photography Books: Marching West: The Los Angeles Civil Rights Movement in Photographs

This volume offers a compelling visual record of the people, organizations, and coalitions that shaped the civil rights movement in Los Angeles, presenting a first-of-its-kind photographic history of activism on the American West Coast. In 1963, during a landmark speech at Wrigley Field before nearly forty thousand people, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. challenged Angelenos to confront inequality at home, stating that meaningful change required action within their own city: “The most important th

Photography Technique Books: The Art of Street Photography

The traditional boundaries of candid urban documentation undergo a significant reassessment in The Art of Street Photography, a collaborative volume by photographers Joshua K. Jackson and Sean Tucker. While the genre historically prioritizes the "decisive moment" and objective reportage, this text advocates for a shift toward a more interpretive and subjective methodology. The authors position the metropolitan environment not merely as a site for observation, but as a malleable canvas for person

Book Review: Africatown by Ave Pildas

Posted on September 07, 2026

I first discovered Ave Pildas's work through his submissions to AAP Magazine, where he was selected as a winner. Since then, I have continued to discover his incredible work through his other submissions, our interview about his book Star Struck, and Bijou Thoughts, a project we also presented on All About Photo. Over the years, I have also had the pleasure of getting to know Ave through our exchanges, and his warmth, kindness, humor, and liveliness have always come through. Looking at Africatow

Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen: Step by Step

Posted on September 07, 2026

Step by Step (1982–1989) by Finnish photographer Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen is a tender, revealing portrait of girls, mothers, and a close-knit dancing community in North Shields, in the North East of England. Made over six years, the project follows a generation of young dancers as they grow from childhood into adolescence and adulthood, capturing not only the discipline and excitement of dance, but also the hopes, doubts, friendships, family ties, and social realities that shape their lives beyond

Book Review: The Presence of Absence by Inbal Abergil

Before I begin, I’d like to take a moment to express my gratitude to publishers in general and to Kehrer Verlag in particular, for continuing to give us the opportunity to explore the work of so many great photographers—whether we are rediscovering artists we thought we already knew or discovering new ones. Thank you for giving photography lovers the opportunity to discover new work and new stories, to see the world from different perspectives, and to experience emotions through images printe

Book Review: Marching West: The Los Angeles Civil Rights Movement in Photographs

Posted on August 14, 2026

Marching West: The Los Angeles Civil Rights Movement in Photographs invites readers to reconsider the familiar map of American civil rights history. When we think about the movement, we often picture Selma, Birmingham, Montgomery, and the iconic photographs associated with those places. Los Angeles rarely occupies the same space in our visual memory. Yet this richly researched volume makes clear that the struggle for equality was also taking place on the West Coast, through demonstrations,

Book Review: Looking Inside by Sara Bennett

Posted on August 07, 2026

Sara Bennett’s Looking Inside: Women with Life Sentences is a quietly powerful photobook that examines incarceration without reducing the women it portrays to their crimes. Over more than a decade, Bennett—a former public defender turned photographer—returned to prisons across New York State to photograph women serving life sentences for homicide, creating a body of work marked by patience, consistency, and trust. Published by Kehrer Verlag, the book brings together portraits, handwritten l

Book Review: Burnt Eyes by Gilles Nicolet

Posted on August 05, 2026

Some photobooks reveal their ambition slowly. Burnt Eyes by Gilles Nicolet captures your attention from the very first image, but its true strength lies in how consistently that sense of wonder continues throughout the book. It asks for time, attention, and a slower way of looking. The photographs move like memory itself — soft at the edges, returning to certain moments while letting others fade. For more than three decades, Nicolet has returned to Africa with his camera, and that long relati

My Mother's Tender Script by Asiya Al Sharabi

Posted on July 19, 2026

My Mother's Tender Script is the first photobook by Asiya Al. Sharabi. Through family photographs, handwritten address books, folded papers, and the personal documents left behind by her late mother, Shukriya, the book explores memory, illiteracy, family history, and the everyday ways one woman documented her life. Following her mother's death, Al. Sharabi inherited the small handbag she had carried everywhere. Inside were address books, folded scraps of paper, family photographs, medica

A Place We Like by Leone

Posted on June 22, 2026

For some travelers, a hotel is simply a place to stay. For LEONE, it is an experience shaped by atmosphere, people, and a sense of belonging. His third book, *A Place We Like*, grew out of a years-long search for that elusive feeling. Published as the inaugural title under the Leisure imprint of C41 Magazine, the project serves as both a visual guide to some of Europe’s most remarkable hotels and a personal reflection on the meaning of hospitality. Traveling across the continent, LEONE visite

Book Review: Crossing by Ruth Kaplan

Posted on June 19, 2026

Some books announce their subject immediately. Others reveal it slowly, asking you to travel a little before you understand where you're headed. Ruth Kaplan's 'Crossing' belongs to the second category. The book itself is modest in size, almost journal-like. Measuring 24.5 x 16.5 cm, it feels less like a grand statement than a personal record. The glossy cover shows a blurred view through a rain-soaked windshield. A few distant lights emerge from the darkness ahead, but little else is visib

Book review: Life Still by Lee Friedlander

Posted on June 17, 2026

I have spent years looking at Lee Friedlander’s America. It has always been a country of sharp angles, cluttered street corners, and shadows that seem to swallow the photographer whole. So when I picked up his latest monograph, 'Life Still', I expected the familiar noise of his world. Instead, I found something stranger: a 91-year-old photographer holding his breath. Spanning seven decades of mostly unpublished images alongside brand-new work, 'Life Still' feels less like a retrospective and

Unspoken by Jo Ann Chaus

Posted on June 13, 2026

“…at once intimate, and yet laid bare for all to see. Chaus’ imagery is very much grounded in an introspective desire to delve into the real, albeit suppressed self.” —Debra Klomp Ching, gallerist and curator Part of a bigger journey of liberation through self-exploration, this new photobook by Jo Ann Chaus is above all a collection of self-portraits, complemented by landscapes, still lifes and domestic interiors observed and inhabited by the photographer-cum-model. With the women of th

Burnt Eyes by Gilles Nicolet

Posted on June 02, 2026

Burnt Eyes is a thoughtful exploration of nostalgia, memory, and the intricate connection between place and identity. This beautifully printed, linen-bound collection features the striking black-and-white photography of Gilles Nicolet, paired with resonant poetry by Tanur Shah, creating an intuitive interplay between photography and verse that invites personal interpretation. The book offers a nuanced portrayal of Africa, with each of Nicolet’s photographs serving as a heartfelt tribute to t

Book Review: Resounding with Echoes by Richard Hay Jr.

Posted on May 28, 2026

'Resounding with Echoes: Sojourns Across Africa and America' by Richard Hay Jr. arrived on my desk at a moment when photography often feels trapped between spectacle and speed. My own daily intake of images now circulates at a pace that leaves little room for actual looking. Hay works entirely against that momentum. His photographs forced me to slow down, and they demanded my patience. That restraint is clear from the start. As I turned the pages, the book unfolded without dramatic sequencing

Book Review: Seasons of Time by Nathalie Rubens

Posted on May 12, 2026

Some photobooks are built around a concept. Others are built around emotion. Seasons of Time by Nathalie Rubens belongs to the second category — a deeply personal and emotionally intelligent body of work that explores the fragile, often unspoken space between motherhood, aging, and the shifting nature of selfhood. What moved me most while looking through this book was the way Rubens places two transformations side by side: her daughter Ruby entering adulthood, and herself entering a new p

1804 by Rich-Joseph Facun

Posted on May 11, 2026

1804 continues Rich-Joseph Facun’s ongoing exploration of life in the Appalachian foothills of Southeast Ohio, turning his attention toward the local university and its deeply intertwined, often contradictory relationship with the surrounding community. Through a nuanced and atmospheric body of work, Facun examines the social fabric of a region where education, labor, politics, and identity collide in subtle yet profound ways. Named after the year the university was founded, 1804 reflects on

MAPALAKATA by Robin Bernstein

Posted on May 02, 2026

GOST Books presents Robin Bernstein’s debut photobook MAPALAKATA, a compelling visual investigation into landscape, memory, and the layered histories of Southern Africa. The project offers a nuanced reflection on how geography is not only inhabited, but continually rewritten through movement, extraction, and shifting narratives of belonging. At its core, MAPALAKATA engages with Mpumalanga province in South Africa, a region situated on the dramatic escarpment bordering Mozambique and Eswatini. T
