The honor is ours! Here's what the editors of @time magazine had to say about the books from our list named Best Photobooks of 2022 'The Unseen Saul Leiter' from D.A.P. with @saulleiterfoundation "The edit of images flips between bursting color and gloomy weather in the streets of New York, illuminating the in-between moments that were tucked away years ago, but important to Leiter nonetheless. It is a revelatory and colossal archival project…" @carriemaeweems 'A Great Turn in the Possible' from D.A.P. & @mapfrefcultura "This book covers Weems’ multi-genre practice that grapples with themes of class, power, gender, belonging, and the lived experiences of African Americans" @marilyn.nance 'Last Day in Lagos' from @cara_the_org & @fourthwall_books Nance's photographs "showcase the cultural importance of [Festac 77] on individual and societal levels, as she approached photographing everyone from well-known performers and cultural leaders to festival workers and attendees with the same attentiveness and consideration" @elizavetaporodina 'Un/Masked' from @hatjecantzverlag "A trove of rich surrealist images steeped in beauty and symbolism… Porodina’s photography feels singular in the way she imagines, investigates, and celebrates human behavior. Previously a clinical psychologist, Porodina has a vision and voice that come through in highly crafted images, fantastical and haunting all at once." @julie_blackmon 'Midwest Materials' from @radius.books "Blackmon asks us to approach these images like puzzles, inviting us to scan them for hidden details that are sure to induce a smidgeon of anxiety and unease. Her book is a welcome departure from reality, and for a moment, a reminder of our own, carefree inner child."
