Windows to the Unexpected | Anna Cabrera + Angel Albarrán

Windows to the Unexpected is the second book in a trilogy that began with the bestselling Remembering the Future, where the authors explore complexities of form and narrative in photography. This is not one to be missed.

It delves into the tension between the visible and the unforeseen, inviting viewers to question what they see and uncover what lies beyond the image.

Angel Albarrán (b.1969, Barcelona) and Anna Cabrera (b. 1969, Sevilla) have worked collaboratively as photographers since 1996. A rich inner philosophy about memory and experience — and a special curiosity for photographic chemistry — guide their aesthetic practice. Click the image to read full details + purchase.

4 Sides of the Table | Ruth Lauer Manenti

Like Manenti's first book I Imagined it Empty, her second photobook 4 Sides of the Table evokes a strong emotional reaction in the reader.

The American author + photographer delivers a powerful meditation on love, grief and the power of being seen.

It is about the time it takes for light to pass through a room, to eat a loaf of bread, or for someone to die. I know I will not live forever. One day there will only be traces of my life left. I too will be fleeting like the light of the sun coming through my window appearing on a piece of glass. Paying attention to all that is passing I know that death is approaching.

Starting Out | Cristóbal Hara

Starting Out is an enthralling journey through the career of Cristóbal Hara (b. Madrid, 1946), who after more than half a century as a photographer returns to his origins.

Hara recalls a time when being a novice photographer was synonymous with freedom, risk and discovery. From his youthful decision to abandon the business world to devote himself to photography, through his years of learning on the streets under the dictatorship, to his first international collaborations, this book brings together the images that shaped his craft.

This bilingual English-Spanish edition features previously unpublished images and personal stories. The author reveals how his vocation was born —inspired by Cartier-Bresson and forged on the streets of Francoist Spain— and how that spirit of experimentation has accompanied him through portraits, urban scenes, travels and unique projects.

Sunday Morning | Txema Salvans

Every sunny Sunday at noon for the last ten years Txema Salvans (b. Barcelona, 1971) has photographed from the roof of his van the people who gather in the Carrefour supermarket car park on the outskirts of Barcelona.

This unlikely leisure ground, both empty and absurd, hosts practical routines, quiet breaks and a silent quest to suspend time. With patience and consistency, the photographer turns the banal into a visual symphony that reflects the margins of contemporary leisure, life on the urban periphery, and the hidden poetics of the everyday.

Here, The Doors Don't Know Me | Mohamed Mahdy

Initiated in 2016, the project follows—through photography, community archives, handwritten letters + testimonies—the residents of Al-Max, a historic fishing neighborhood in Alexandria, Egypt, now facing displacement.
