Shot across South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Landscape, wildlife and a great deal of driving. Edited and laid out by the person who took the photographs, which is either the best or the worst way to make a photo book. Self-published, short run.

Istanbul, photographed while living there between 2007 and 2008. Street life, architecture that has outlasted several empires, and the ordinary business of a city that has never quite decided which continent it belongs to. Two years of looking, edited down to one book.

A road trip from Lisbon to Porto in 2018, photographed along the way. Bleached coastal towns, tiled facades, and the particular melancholy the Portuguese built an entire musical form around. Less a travelogue than a record of driving slowly and stopping often.

Shanghai between 2010 and 2013, photographed while living in it. Neon, back alleys, and glass towers going up faster than anyone could photograph them. A city that rebuilds itself while you are still learning your way around, documented by someone who mostly failed to keep up.

Tana del Rustico, 1998 to 2000. A hip-hop crew, which at the time meant painted walls, freestyle sessions and a lot of standing around in the cold. This book is what survived: photographs, graffiti, and evidence of a scene that existed entirely without an audience.

An A3 landscape book on the tattoo work of Zhuo Dan Ting, founder of Shanghai Tattoo and one of the best-known tattoo artists in China. Photographed in 2012. Traditional Chinese motifs pushed into contemporary work, shot close enough to see the needlework.
