This is a photo book. These are also photo books.    Photo books can be printed in a variety of ways, including on inkjet/laser printers, like from Hamburger Eyes.  Photo books don't have to have photos in them - they can also have discussion and criticism of photos.  Photo books don't have to be about art - Understanding Exposure is an instructional photo book that's often recommended in the Dorkroom for beginners.  For this discussion we'll also consider magazines like Aperture, which is probably one of the longest running periodicals in existence. Zines are also cool here.  Besides the magazine, Aperture also publishes photo books, like the Bernd & Hilla Becher book at the top. Other publishers that publish lots of photo books are Steidl, Hatje Cantz, Phaidon, Twin Palms, Nazraeli, Taschen, and Little Brown Mushroom. There are also places where people make print-on-demand photo books, like MagCloud, Blurb, Moleskine, and Lulu, but these are basically vanity presses. Discuss your favorite photo books! I'll put up reviews of mine as I have time to do them. MrBlandAverage fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Oct 1, 2013 |

Sharizard posted:This is probably a really stupid question, but can online photo magazines like Square also be discussed in this thread or is this strictly a print + paper affair? Yeah, I was hoping to keep this limited to physical media - you should make a separate effort thread about online photo magazines/blogs!

This is The Last Days of W, by Alec Soth. It's an artist's book printed on newsprint, and it's awesome. It's the first of a series of books Alec Soth has printed on newsprint. Despite being significantly more flimsy than a traditionally bound book the printing quality is still pretty high, and that makes these newsprint books way cheaper to own, which is great, because the photos aren't any less awesome. First seeing Alec Soth's work while I was in high school is what got me interested in the idea that a series of photos can tell a story about something without their all directly containing that thing, and this book is a prime example of that. Pompous Rhombus posted:[...] I think most (if not the majority) of people using those services are getting copies made just for themselves, or friends/family, rather than trying to sell them commercially because a traditional publisher wouldn't touch them. Yeah, that's pretty much the definition of "vanity press." MrBlandAverage fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Oct 30, 2013 |

Spedman posted:I also recently got some of Alec Soth's work, "Three Valleys" I have all of the other Dispatches, and I have to say I wish they were all color like The Last Days of W. Still so, so worth it.

try it with a lime posted:Can any of you vouch for Mossless Magazine? I need to know if I should be $45+shipping poorer. Issues 1 & 2 were good but issue 3 is fantastic and absolutely worth the $45.

Shelf-killing acquisitions continue unabated. I've been waiting for this one.

Breadnought posted:Just got my copies Mossless and Grays the Mountain Sends, everyone who recommended them was super right. And lucky me, a gallery in NYC is showing pictures from Grays the Mountain Sends until January 11. I hope the prints are gigantic. It's probably the same prints I saw, which makes them up to 40x50

AbeBooks is good for the really, really esoteric stuff, but prices will not be low.
