As the month of November draws to a close, we begin our holiday season with the start of Hanukkah and our staff picks for our list of "Interesting Artist and PhotoBooks for 2021." I think that this list is diverse as ever and it is not meant to be the "Best" photobooks for the year (although many will be). Many of our books are off the beaten path and provide a concept, idea or a narrative that should warrant a second consideration.
This year we initiated a book-sale fundraiser to help cover our on-going expenses, which did a really fine job. Nevertheless, we appreciate your consideration on this Giving Tuesday for a donation to PhotoBook Journal. Even though we are not officially non-profit, we certainly are an all volunteer no-profit organization. This will help keep us going. Thank you!

During a pandemic, during the worst of the chaos and angst, many of us must have found themselves reflecting on the past framed by the current moment. Sal Taylor Kydd in her latest poetic narrative... (more)
The swimming pool of a Mid-Century Modern Southern California home in Palm Springs, designed by a renowned architect, seems like the perfect spot and a fitting context for continuing one's artistic studies of the human figure.... (more)
