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.

Patterns: Art of the Natural World (Damiani) documents photographer Jon McCormack's meditation on the
geometric patterns that define our planet's most breathtaking landscapes and ecosystems. Through McCormack's
documentation, the Earth reveals itself as both architect and storyteller. Across continents and scales, from
microscopic mineral blooms to vast aerial geometries, the images trace a living grammar of pattern, rhythm, and
resonance that connects the intimate to the immense.
KAOS by Albert Watson is far more than a retrospective monograph spanning more than fifty years of photography. To me, it immediately felt like an object of art—something that insists on being present. With its imposing XL format and nearly eleven pounds, it’s not a book you casually leave on the side of a sofa or slip into a shelf. You place it somewhere with intention. On a table, in full view. Not just as decoration, but as something that invites attention, something you return to

Following the unexpected death of her husband, Howard, Alt assumed responsibility for the nascent ecosystem he had planted in response to his growing concern over climate change. What began as daily stewardship gradually became a source of creative focus and sustenance amid mourning.
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.
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.
