A Question of Balance
Publication date: November 2026Photobooks
Best known for his spectacular and thoughtful explorations of the American West, Elliot Ross presents a compelling new photobook on water inequality in his home state of Utah and the neighboring Navajo Nation.
Relying on a shared water supply in the form of the Colorado River Basin and divided by just 80 miles, the two communities documented by Ross for this project have a strikingly contrasting access to fresh water—a gap running along racial lines.

Futures Past
Publication date: November 2026Photobooks
Having spent the last two decades documenting humankind’s dazzling innovation and technological advancement, New York-based photographer Spencer Lowell has finally gathered some of his finest images under a single cover—one featuring a close-up of metallurgical-grade silicon, a material critical to—and synonymous with—modern-day high-tech industries.
This mesmerizing new photobook includes more than 50 pictures taken by Lowell between 2007 and 2024—mostly in the U.S. but also in other countries such as Chile, Norway, and Japan. The photographs feature a wide range of subjects—from robotic priests and sex robots to nuclear reactors, Mars rovers, and supercomputers.

UNCOOL
Publication date: 15 October 2026Photobooks
This new photobook is a collection of uncompromising portraits of 27 individuals (including Brune herself), whose bodies fall outside of the so-called conventional beauty standards. For UNCOOL, Brune took pictures of and interviewed fellow wheelchair users, as well as amputees, cancer survivors, persons with Down syndrome, hearing loss, or vision impairment — and other conditions that society still often labels as disabilities and disorders.
UNCOOL is the product of her four-year-long project that began in 2022 and has since been nominated for several prestigious prizes. In 2026, Brune was shortlisted for the C/O Berlin Talent Award and selected as a finalist for the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award at Rencontres d'Arles, where her work was part of a group exhibition at LUMA Arles.

Confessions of a Working Class Artist
Publication date: 24 November 2026Photobooks
Mark Alice Durant makes a point of noting that his new book is neither a sociological study nor a manifesto. Still, Confessions of a Working Class Artist is quite a lot of things, including an autobiography, a celebration of art in general and photography in particular, and even a collection of advice (sort of) for aspiring creatives, interspersed with aphoristic commentary on life as an artist of humble origins.
Confessions is written in an episodic style, mixing personal anecdotes of shame and revelation, sociopolitical observations, and stories from fellow working-class artists. Durant also writes about some of the biggest influences on his artistic (and political) views, from the Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke to the French painter Gustave Caillebotte to the American filmmaker Maya Deren.

Traces of Impermanence
Publication date: 22 September 2026Photobooks
Marking Lauren Shaw’s return to photography after two decades of making documentary films, this new photobook is a poetic contemplation and embrace of life’s constant change. Through uncompromising pictures of herself, Shaw boldly faces her own aging while observing nature’s cycles of birth, bloom, and decline and seeing “the quiet promise of renewal” in every moment.
Shaw documents her body yielding to the natural progression of time—its scars, bruises, and marks revealing resilience, vulnerability, and the record of a life lived. These are juxtaposed with poetic images from the natural world that explore the interplay between beauty and imperfection, growth and decay, each shaping and deepening the presence of the other and evoking the rhythms that govern all living things.
