Day 19 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 19, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Earlier this year we had a Miniclick outing to the Media Space to see their new exhibition from Joan Fontcuberta, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. So much so that Bryony Good picked out his new book from MACK, ‘Pandora’s Camera’ for Day 19 of the Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar… After visiting Joan Fontcuberta’s exhibition ‘Stranger Than Fiction’ at the Science Museum this year I became entranced with his surreal and magical approach to examining photography’s truth functions. His work reflects […]

Day 18 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 18, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

One week to go! For Day 18 of the Grand Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar (which, we need to stress again, is not a definitive list nor is it counting down to a number one), Jim picks out a favourite from AMC, their ‘Amore e Piombo’… ‘Amore e Piombo’ translates to English as ‘Love and Lead’, and so this book of images taken from the archives of Italian agency, Editorial Team Service, traces the Italian ‘Years of Lead’ – the years […]

Day 17 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 17, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

2014 saw a number of photographers heading to Ukraine to document the turbulent situation, including Chris Nunn who spent time in Kalush and published his second book from the region earlier this year. Miniclick team member, Joe Conway, picked it out as a fav for Day 17 of the Advent Calendar… Christopher Nunn first traveled to Kalush, Ukraine in February 2013 to visit the hometown of his Grandmother. This visit transpired to be the first of many. And despite the […]

Day 16 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 16, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Ditto Press are consistently one of our favourite publishers, who combine fascinating content with beautiful design. As such, we generally look forward to any of their new releases but the newest one was one we were especially excited about. ‘Skinhead: An Archive’ is behind door number 16 on the Miniclick Photobook Advent calendar… Of all the sub culture groups emerging from Britain in the last forty or fifty years, Skins are likely the most divisive, most controversial and most misunderstood and […]

Day 15 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 15, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Earlier this year, as part of Brighton Photo Fringe and Biennial, we helped organise a photobook fair, where we were fortunate enough to be sat next to Fishbar Gallery. One of the books they had for sale that really caught our attention was Phillipp Ebeling’s’ Land without Past’. It lies behind door number 15 of the Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar… In a body of work that has echoes in Glen Erler’s ‘Family Tree’, Phillipp revisited the German village that was his home […]

Day 14 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 14, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

GOST featured heavily in our Photobook Advent Calendar last year, partly down to the quality of the work they published, but also down to the care and attention that goes into the design. Behind today’s door of the Photobook Advent Calendar, Lou takes us through a new GOST edition, Rafel Milach’s ‘The Winners’… Published in 2014 by GOST, Rafal Milach’s new book, The Winners, is a collection of images made by Milach in Belarus from 2011. The project (neatly outlined on […]

Day 13 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 13, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

A bit later than we planned today, but blame that on a hangover from our Christmas Party last night. Behind today’s door on the Photobook Advent Calendar is Mark Power’s latest edition. Take it away Jack Latham… Last month saw the arrival of Mark Power’s latest book, ‘Die Mauer ist Weg!’ (‘The Wall is Gone’). Self published, the book was released 25 years to the day of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In what became a career changing period […]

Day 12 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 12, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Who else would we feature on the day of our Christmas Party, but Peter Dench and his book ‘A&E’ behind door number 12 on the Advent Calendar. Take it away Bryony… Eat, drink and be merry! It’s Christmas time and what better way to celebrate than by enjoying Peter Dench’s perfect portrayal of drunken Britain in his book titled simply A&E (Alcohol & England). If there is no comfort be found in the bottom of your bottle, there is in the […]

Rolling on with the Grand Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, and Lou takes a look at Portrait Salon’s annual newspaper… Dougie Wallace Once again we teamed up with Portrait Salon for the launch of their yearly image showcase, and once again we were amazed by the quality of the images featured. Founded in 2011 by Carole Evans and James O. Jenkins, Portrait Salon functions as a form of Salon des Refusés, exhibiting (in slideshow, newspaper format, and print exhibition) the images […]
