Join us in Paris at the Magnum Book Festival next weekend!
Taking place on Saturday November 14, there will be a day of book launches and signings at the Magnum Gallery and Bookstore at 2 Impasse Delaunay, 75011, Paris.
At 4pm, Mark Power will be speaking about his series ‘Good Morning, America’ published by GOST.
Since 2012 Power has travelled across the USA creating a complex visual narrative of the cultural and physical landscape, and the divergence of reality and myth.
More information about ‘Volume V’ of the series will be announced next weekend. Sign up to our newsletter via the link in bio to be the first to receive this news 🔗
Meanwhile, follow @marktpower to delve into the fascinating journeys he has made in creating this body of work.

Over seven years, from 2019 to 2025, Matt Walla walked the downtown neighbourhoods of Santa Barbara, California, USA, at dusk, often beginning at his own front door. The resulting photographs in ‘American Riviera’ form a quiet study of a city better known for its sunny postcard identity than for the ordinary, overlooked corners where its working-class character quietly holds on.
‘American Riviera’ is a love letter to the photographer’s city of residence. Walla captures beauty and lushness in the mundane of a town that the Washington State native now calls home, having moved there in 2003.
The book will be published in March 2027 globally.
We will be exploring this title further in the coming months! For now, learn more for now about it, and our other 2027 titles available so far via our link in bio 🔗

We are delighted to announce that Simone Rosenbauer's Small Museum has been shortlisted for the First Photo Book category in this Lucie Foundation awards!

Over the course of four years she visited a disparate range of institutions from the Alice Springs Telegraph Station to the Apple and Heritage Museum, the Australian Country Music Hall of Fame to the Newcastle Gaol, the Carnaby Collection of Beetles and Butterflies to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs. Rosenbauer took nearly 3000 photographs and conducted extensive interviews with museum custodians to delve into Australia’s cultural memory

"Making our way home from school is a simple, nostalgic, universal activity. This daily commute has its own set of challenges in South Africa—a country with the greatest social divide. This daily ritual is a crossing, a tightrope walk through streets where invisible lines divide safety from danger, past from future, life from death. Through drawing, photography, collage, and cyanotypes. Cameras change hands, and perspectives shift; new truths are unveiled... " Laura Pannack @laurapannack
A special selection of images from Laura Pannack's latest book, published this month by GOST ran exclusively today The Guardian. Visit the 🔗 in our biog to read the full feature!
Thank you to @fionashields7 and @harriet.l for all the work on this piece too.
Laura Pannack is recipient of the inaugural (2025) Tom Stoddart Award for Excellence and has been working on the images which appear in 'Crossings' since 2023. Following an initial residency with A4 Arts Foundation in 2023, Pannack began working with local youth clubs, schools and NGOs across the Cape Flats in Cape Town. Through workshops using lo-fi analogue photography, painting and creative writing, she created an accessible space for young people to reflect on their experiences and their journeys through and with their communities each day. The images made in collaboration with the young people also form an important part of the book.
Laura will also be signing copies of 'Crossings' at Paris Photo. Make a date to meet us in Paris and check our signing schedule, also via our link in bio

Vladimir Karamazov came to photography in 2019 after a highly regarded career as an actor across cinema, television, and the stage. 'For the Grace of God' is his inaugural photobook and it takes us into the notorious Belene Prison, located in northern Bulgaria on the border with Romania; the most heavily guarded facility of its type in the country. Deliberately situated on an island, escape is near impossible from the facility.
We are pleased to share a Special Edition of the book, now available.
Edition of 10
Clothbound box with a signed book and one 11x14'' Hahnemühle print, signed and numbered by Vladimir Karamazov.
Each edition is accompanied by a bespoke, handcrafted wooden artwork by Stoycho Vasilev.

Print 3: Dream of Escape

Happy Halloween! 🎃
Take a look back with us on this holiday weekend at images made by Melonie Bennett of her family in the early 2000s included in ‘Holy Cow!’
‘Holy Cow!’ is a romp through 20 years of family photographs by Melonie Bennett published earlier this year. The black and white images in this unconventional family album were made between 1990-2011. They depict the rituals, traditions, dramas, laughter, gatherings, the dogs and the drunken exploits alongside quieter moments of reprieve—they show the rollercoaster of human life.
Pictured: Rozada and Scott, Halloween, 2003 and Wyatt, Merritt and Cinderella, Halloween, 2010 © Melonie Bennett.

A little glimpse into my book America’s Girls, On the Edge of a Dream, through archival footage of moments with friends and family, accompanied by the words of Claire Marie Healy, who wrote a beautiful essay on the work.
A reflection on growing up, girlhood, and the expectations, dreams and possibilities that shape who we become.

"As I state in my introduction, JOURNEY, as the word itself, is self-explanatory: a journey. PORTRAITS is more introspective, a conversation with the living and the dead. That, and not only the choice of format and film, is what dictated two separate books" explains Julio Mitchel in a recent conversation with 'About Photo' @aboutphotographyblog
Take a look at the book here, or read the full conversation via the link in our bio 🔗
Julio Mitchel (b. Havana, Cuba, in 1942), moved to New York City when he was seventeen-years-old. He studied photography under renowned photographer Lisette Model at the New School, which helped shape his unique documentary style. His work has been widely exhibited internationally.
The book is now available!

Dark Line – The Thames Estuary is published by GOST and available now via the link in my bio.
The book brings together photographs I have made along the Thames Estuary for some years, presenting the series in its entirety for the first time.
A journey through water and the weight of history attached to it – neither means much without the other.
Thank you to the whole team at Gost for bringing this to life.

‘Don McCullin, Woman With Pram, Consett, 1974’ is featured in an exhibition currently on display in Bristol, UK, at our friends @martinparrfdn
‘Dark Tales: British Documentary Photography’ and the Gothic can be seen until December 20, 2026 in their gallery spaces curated by @isaac.blease
“Don McCullin’s images often highlight British eccentricities, calendar events and ordinary leisure activities, while still addressing the political realities of the times. During this period he visited communities living in the north of England, which had been neglected by policies of de-industrialisation. This image was made in Consett and shows the resilience of those living in areas of industrial decline, as well as the looming presence of heavy industry in the landscape” The Guardian.
In our book ‘Life, Death and Everything in Between’ this work and almost 140 more are included and were edited by McCullin through the process of revisiting his archives and reassessing photographs made from the late 1950s until last year. The book aims to be neither a retrospective nor definitive publication, but to present a selection of images valued by McCullin with the benefits of both hindsight and wisdom, encapsulating his prolific, varied and ongoing career. There are just nine left in our online shop!
