Support independent photobook publishing by preordering your copy today! Ships in December. — While making street portraits in Atlanta, Tanyth Berkeley met Lee, a man who, she recalls, “glowed.” He became both her muse and someone she loved, and what began as a street photography project became something far more personal. Over the next two years, Berkeley photographed their life together, creating an intimate portrait of a relationship that would eventually come to an end. Only years later did she realize that Lee had become, in part, a surrogate through whom she was trying to understand her father, who died of a drug overdose at twenty-three. Motherless Child is a story of love, the lasting effects of childhood trauma, and the heartbreak of letting go. — 16.5cm x 23.5cm softcover with dust jacket 96 pages (32 coated, 64 uncoated) 65 color images 05 Nov 2026 A process video of making “Mouth of Kingdom Come Creek.” It leaves out a few steps.

And living on Kingdom Come Creek for four years and and hiking up the trail over the holler to take this picture and getting lost in the folds and waves of mountains and finally finding a road and hitchhiking back to my house. It’s the Last picture my new book - Family Genus Species by TIS Books. Pre-order is Now! Link in bio. 26 Oct 2026 We are pleased to announce that Hanafuda, @willfujiomatsuda first monograph, is now available for preorder, with copies shipping this winter. Link to preorder in bio. Named after the traditional Japanese playing cards he learned from his grandmother during family gatherings in Hawaii, Hanafuda is a meditation on memory, family, and cultural inheritance, and the ways these shape our relationship to the natural world. Organized into twelve suits corresponding to the months of the year, hanafuda cards depict flowers, animals, and landscapes in striking compositions of black, red, and white. Drawing on their imagery, as well as the visual traditions of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Matsuda creates photographs that he describes as “imperfect translations” of his relationship to Japanese-American culture—a process of exploring his heritage while making space for something new, free from the need to be “correct.” The photographs move between intimate portraits, quiet observations of the natural world, and landscapes that evoke the passage of time and the persistence of memory. Like the cards themselves, they suggest connections between people, plants, animals, and the changing seasons. Yet their relationship to hanafuda is associative rather than literal, shaped as much by Matsuda’s experiences and memories as by the imagery of the cards. At the heart of the project is a desire to bridge distances—between generations, between cultures, and between past and present. In Matsuda’s photographs, landscape becomes not simply a setting, but a site of memory, ancestry, and belonging. —— Reserve your copy now and help support independent publishing. Each advance order includes a signed 4 × 6 print. Plus!

Reserve your copy and help support independent publishing. Each advance order includes a signed 4x6 print of Logan with Alligator. ____ ‘Family Genus Species’ follows lives spent loving animals and negotiating man. Set in the backwoods, black-and-white photographs and short stories bring together Jeff Whetstone’s vision as both an artist and writer. The title invokes Linnaean taxonomy, a system for classifying living things. The book draws on this order to consider the shifting relationships among people, animals, and the land. Written with close observation and flashes of dark humor, the stories present animals and plants as sources of fascination, refuge, and uncertainty—and as a language for experiences the characters’ struggle to understand or express directly. A harmless animal can feel deadly; a creature believed to be dangerous may prove vulnerable; a plant’s scientific name can carry the memory of the person who first revealed it. Field guides, family lore, religious belief, and direct experience do not always agree, making what is known, imagined, or inherited difficult to separate. Rendered in a rich, dark tonal range, the photographs move between intimate acts and communal rituals, human figures and animal specimens, natural growth and altered landscapes. Animals appear not only as living presences but as bodies that are handled, hunted, collected, or arranged for study. People are immersed in their surroundings through play and movement, while the land’s dense vegetation appears poised to absorb their imprint. Together, the photographs and stories portray human life as part of—not apart from—the natural world they seek to describe and order. 03 Oct 2026 We’re going to be at @printedmatter_artbookfairs NYABF this weekend!

Among them was Lee, a man who, she recalls, “glowed.” Looking back on the work, she reflected that she had “begun with a different project in mind but then let the real chain of events tell the story.” The book’s opening street portraits give way to a more intimate sequence that traces her life with Lee, reflecting her departure from the distance traditionally associated with her portraiture work into something far more personal. Lee became both her muse and someone she loved. For Berkeley, photography was a way of holding on to people—a collaboration and a means of honoring those connections. Over the next two years, the photographs remain rooted in the intimacy of their relationship as Lee’s life gradually begins to unravel. As addiction increasingly shaped his life, the photographs never lose sight of the man she first encountered. “To push that away is heartbreaking.” Only years after their relationship ended did Berkeley realize that Lee had become, in part, a surrogate through whom she was trying to understand the father she lost to a drug overdose when he was twenty-three. The title, Motherless Child, comes from the spiritual that, in her words, “changes depending on who is singing it.” For her, Motherless Child came to embody the lasting effects of childhood trauma, the ways addiction shapes people’s lives, and how those histories have played out in her own. —— 16.5cm x 23.5cm softcover with dust jacket 96 pages (32 coated, 64 uncoated) 65 color images ISBN 9781943146437 10 Sep 2026 We're excited to be at AIPAD again this year!
