Exposure: Contemporary Photographers is a vibrant survey of the creative energy shaping contemporary photography today. Curated by Amber Creswell Bell, the book brings together forty artists whose work spans continents, subjects, and approaches, offering a rich mosaic of vision and technique. At its core, the collection explores the decisive moment, the instant when a photograph crystallizes emotion, narrative, and observation, revealing the delicate balance between intention and chance.

The featured photographers approach the medium in remarkably diverse ways. Some, like Leila Jeffreys, immerse the viewer in intimate, often theatrical scenes; others, such as Bill Henson, harness shadow and light to evoke mood and tension. Kara Rosenlund and many others examine identity, environment, and social dynamics through lenses that are both personal and expansive. Across these practices, there is a shared pursuit of resonance—a desire to connect the captured image with the viewer’s own perception and experience, whether through landscape, portraiture, or conceptual experimentation.

The book emphasizes not only the visual outcome but also the process and philosophy behind the work. Artists discuss their approach, reflecting on the choices that shape an image: framing, exposure, gesture, and timing. These insights illuminate the complexity of contemporary photography as a medium capable of conveying subtle cultural nuances, challenging conventions, and provoking thought. Each sequence within the book demonstrates the ways photographers negotiate between spontaneity and deliberation, whimsy and rigor, observation and imagination.

Exposure celebrates photography as a lens through which we can explore the world and ourselves. From striking landscapes to intimate domestic moments, from constructed tableaux to fleeting street encounters, the book captures the energy, diversity, and innovation of contemporary practice. It invites readers to pause, reflect, and engage with the artistry and sensitivity that mark these photographers’ work, reaffirming the enduring power of the image to inspire, question, and illuminate.

The Eye Mama book is a photographic portfolio showcasing the mama narrative and the mama gaze, what female and non-binary photographers see when they look at, and into the home.
Based on the Eye Mama Project, a photography platform sharing a curated feed by photographers worldwide who identify as mamas, the Eye Mama book brings together more than 150 images to render what is so often invisible―caregiving, mothering, family and the post-motherhood self― visible.
Eye mama was created by BAFTA-nominated filmmaker and photographer Karni Arieli during the pandemic, when everyone around the world was in lockdown and spending more time in the home, often consumed by caregiving. The visual movement centres around the “mama gaze”, an introspective look at home and care by female and non-binary visual artists.
This iconic book of photographs brings together the images from this movement, experiencing the light and dark of care and parenthood, the beauty of close-up details, love and hardship, and most importantly, the personal poetic truths of these mamas and artists.

This book highlights the relationships that exist between several generations of photographers whose practice is as intuitive as it is abrupt or transgressive. Emerging after World War II with pioneers such as Robert Frank, William Klein, and the founders of the legendary Japanese magazine Provoke, this singular approach to photography remains particularly productive in contemporary creation. Gathering this family of photographers, whose work together spans more than 60 years, this book allows the reader to visualise the links between past and present, rediscover classics, find new talents, and understand the various influences of this photographic heritage up until today.
