Every few weeks, we ask Martin Amis of Photobookstore to compile #OutNow, a selection of recently published, recommended photobooks. Sign up to our weekly newsletter to be notified of future lists!
Here are Martin’s latest picks, in no particular order:
Bottom Of The Lake by Christian Patterson
Following up on the success of his previous photobook Redheaded Peckerwood is no easy task, but Christian Patterson‘s new book Bottom Of The Lake rewards careful reading and return visits. This book within a book even includes a telephone number which connects readers with audio experiences, mixing field recordings, found archival material and performances that recreate the artist’s hometown. Published by Koenig.
