Lost in Photography by Waheeda Bjerkaas
In this book I am showing my collection of found photos. These photos are either found or bought at second hand shops, car boot sales or markets in London and Brighton. I collected them over a period of three months, intrigued by the condition I found them in. I was especially attracted to those photos which had hand-written text that sometimes tell a story about the picture. This led me to include both sides of the photos in the book. This is a very small collection of twenty-eight photographs but it still draws one in a world or a time where these people lived their lives. These photos are a proof of their existence and period where they lived in.

Catalysts and Movement by gary lewzey
The simple addition of people to an urban environment can introduce and give life to an otherwise regulated and mundane recipe of concrete and steel. The most vibrant and colourful catalysts of people to be mixed within a city’s grey architecture are skateboarders. Their vision is as different as their priorities in comparison to the conventional visitors inside the business district. The general public sees practicality where skateboarders see opportunity and leisure. Movement, risk, freedom and experimentation are added to the drone of routine making real, physical use of an architect’s set of stairs and minimalist set of ledges. Using varied photographic styles and layouts to portray different methods of looking at skateboarders you will hopefully see what they see and obtain new understanding of their motives, which are in principle, to reclaim areas of by-laws and regulations, which belong to all of us. We all pay for this city so lets take it back.

Another of my favourite independent publishers is Nieves books, who just launched: Ari Marcopoulos What’s Happening?, a photocopy zine (can we declare photozine as a publishing genre?). Peep inside some of the coolest photo double spreads here:
