Interview: Hoxton Mini Press

May 3, 2016 by Jim Stephenson

Our good friends, Hoxton Mini Press, are crowdfunding for a brand new series of books that mark a departure of sorts from their previous output. With just over 24hrs to go until the deadline for the Kickstarter (which you can support here), we caught up with Martin Usborne from HMP to discuss the new series… Martin Usborne: HMP started after I made a small book about an old man that I once saw outside my window in Hoxton. I was fascinated by him […]

“Now We Also Live Nicely” – What can photography do for us today? Miniclick and the final year students of the BA Documentary Photography course at USW Newport present an evening of discussion on photography, where it is now and where it’s heading. It’s never been easier for photographers to present their ideas in a myriad of different ways than it is today, and in this panel discussion we’ll be talking to a group of people who are working at […]

Project: The Miniclick Mobile Library

February 6, 2015 by Jim Stephenson

// The Miniclick Mobile Library // Our Traveling Photo Bookshelf The Mobile Library was launched in March 2015, providing a travelling library of photography and illustration books and ‘zines and an online outlet to help market them. As we visit festivals around the country and host our own events, we bring a selection of the books that have been donated by publishers, photographers and artists, for the public to peruse. The idea is to create a relaxed atmosphere where visitors can sit […]

Day 24 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 24, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Christmas Eve! It’s been a great year for Miniclick and we’ve got to work with some amazing new people as well as some of our regular favourites. Since it’s Christmas Eve, we thought we’d reflect on some of the zines we put out on the Miniclick Press… Way back in June this year we published five ‘zines from five Brighton based photographers. Or at least five photographers who were based in Brighton when we launched then. Kevin Meredith took us sea […]

Day 23 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 23, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Two days to go! Pretty exciting, but not as exciting as the output from Hoxton Mini Press this year – they feature behind today’s door on the Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar… (Zed Nelson) Set up last year, Hoxton Mini Press has now published a series of incredibly strong photography and illustration books all based around East London. In addition to the content (which we’ll come on to), the appeal of their books for us is in their ethos; affordable as possible without […]

Day 22 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 22, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

The final few days of the Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar and we look at another book we picked up in Paris, from two of our favourites – Lisa Barnard and GOST… Lisa Barnard’s new book from GOST, ‘Hyenas of the Battlefield, Machines in the Garden’ is one of the most brilliantly ambitious books we’ve seen in a long time, both in terms of the scale of it’s ambition, and the depth of research and work that has gone into it. It delves into the ‘unholy […]

Day 21 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 21, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Almost there. Just four wonderful photobook filled days until Christmas and behind the door on the Advent Calendar today, Miniclick team member Joe Conway picks out the latest book from fourteen-nineteen, Daniel Shea’s ‘Blisner, IL’… Daniel Shea is an American artist, who published his book Blisner, IL this year with publishers fouteen-nineteen. It’s a pseudo-sequel to the similarly named Blisner, Ill (a photobook self-published by Shea in 2012). Both publications document the struggles of a former industrial town in the rust belt of […]

Day 20 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 20, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

This year we hosted Rob Hornstra and his DIY Storytelling workshop, which was one of our highlights of the year. The incredible depth of The Sochi Project, which Rob undertook with Arnold van Bruggen, is endlessly impressive. One of the many books they published that we picked up during his workshop was ‘The Secret History of Khava Gaisanova’ and, although not technically published this year, we’ve picked it our for our Advent Calendar. Take it away Bryony Good… The Sochi Project […]
