Founded in 2010 and published by Victor Balko, Oliver Dignal, Stefan Stark and the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach, ALBUM – Magazin für Fotografie is described by its makers as “a mirror”, a springboard, a space to explore: a magazine for photography.

Or, generally speaking, photography as it is perceived and how we take it seriously.” Published works include those from Julius von Bismarck, Lucas Foglia, Nacho Iasparra, Sanna Kannisto, Tim Knowles, Laura Plageman, Diana Scherer, Amy Stein and Erik van der Weijde. Texts have been written by Steve Baker, Oliver Dignal, Jule Hillgärtner, Sabine Weier and others. Every issue comes with an art

Drittel Books is a Berlin-based, independent publisher of photography books, founded in 2013 by Andreas Gehrke. Drittel does not simply publish collections of “good photographs”, preferring instead to publish bodies or series of work that explore ideas in a deeper way. Its publications are representative of its belief in photography as a medium to reflect and influence our culture and society. The name Drittel, which is German for “one third,” is inspired by the belief that no art—or artist—can truly exist alone. The creativity, production and consumption surrounding an artwork is always split, or shared, into separate processes. Books need, at the ver y least, three people: an artist, a publisher and a reader.

As Jim Reed himself says: Easter Trouble Press was founded in 2012, because he “wanted to feel more impor tant.” Self-publishing did a lot for his ego at first: someone wrote once about one of his books, and that felt good; another person did it, that felt even better. Like a lot of things in life though, self-publishing stopped feeling good af ter time passed. It used to feel like a special thing, but now it feels clichéd to him (and awkward, like right now while having to write the word “he” instead of “I”). He wants to be strong, like Gerhard Steidl, but he isn’t that strong. He sees other books and thinks: “Wow, that is a lot better
than anything I’ve ever made.” He sees other books and thinks: “What is this crap?” The first book he made was called Easter Trouble. He made it as a child, with no selfish intent. He wonders if he’ll ever do that kind of thing again. He hopes so.

The publisher Kominek Books is part of Michael Kominek’s Berlin gallery of the same name, which represents ar tists such as Irina Ruppert, Greg Girard and Birthe Piontek. Kominek Books has produced publications from photographers such as Alec Soth, Viviane Sassen, Enrique Metinides and Greg Girad. Kominek Books considers the photography book a work of art: “It is the final form for a photographic work and the actual artwork of a photographer. The printed paper, layout, typography, the sequence, all this is a combination of different arts that makes the final piece of art. Why a photobook? To tell a stor y in pictures, or is it more to express ourselves in another language and not be always strictly narrative? Bookmaking is an ancient process, which is still the strongest for us when it comes to tell a stor y with documentary photography.”

The design for White Press’ custom-made photographic artists’ books takes its cue from photography; these books are published so that photographers can make their work available to a wider audience—since both media, photography and print are made to be reproduced. According to Helge Schlaghecke, publisher and designer for White Press: “Using the most delicate papers and materials, binding the books by hand, little irregularities are inevitable and not to be considered as a defect. These aberrations let your book stand out as a unique object.” White Press collaborates with artists such as Koji Onaka, Annabelle Fürstenau and Janko Woltersmann.
