Mark Power's Favorite

Sleep Creek
Dylan Hausthor & Paul Guilmoth

"A beautiful little book from the excellent Athens-based Void, this was my most exciting find at Paris Photo. Devoid of text, the book appears to blend fact, fiction, and myth, with pictures consistently strange and often difficult to read. [...] It’s a brave publication, but one which (I’m sure) will continue to reveal itself over time."



Josef Chladek's Favorite

Dein Kampf
Brad Feuerhelm

"Brilliant, from the first page to the last thanks (that goes to The Sisters of Mercy—how can anything be wrong with that?), shelved right on my Berlin-Olympus beside the masterworks of Michael Schmidt's Waffenruhe and John Gossage’s Stadt des Schwarz/Berlin in the Time of the Wall—it feels like a contemporary companion of those books."





Rixon Reed's Favorite

Lake Lahontan | Lake Bonneville
Michael Light

"Michael Light's sumptuous book of abstractions, made from above the North American Great Basin, is brilliant in concept and execution. Here, the scars that are made on our earth's surface by humans act as a semi-permanent record of how we treat our planet."





Shane Lavalette's Favorite

American Origami
Andres Gonzalez

"American Origami presents an unusual and moving reflection on the complexity of a seemingly endless cycle of gun violence in America—a timely publication that is visually striking, poetic, and painful."






RVB Books' Favorite

Richard Prince 1234/ Instagram Recordings
Richard Prince & Sébastien Girard

"I had already seen early dummies of it, but when I discovered the final version of the Instagram Recordings — 12 chronological books, each packaged in a unique record sleeve — two words came to mind: future classic!"






Christopher J Johnson's Favorite

Stages for Being
Ralph Eugene Meatyard

"Meatyard, an optometrist by trade, continues to show us that seeing is miracle, but seeing a photograph is the work of meditation."
