Tell us about your book

Opening soon

A new home for independent photobooks.

Photobook Commons is a marketplace for self-published and small-run photobooks, bought directly from the photographers who made them. We're building it now.

Tell us about your book

For photographers: we'll write about your book in our journal. Free, with no obligation.

What we're building

Photobooks, direct from the photographers who made them.

For collectors

Books you won't find in shops

Limited editions and small print runs from independent photographers. Each book has its own page with the edition, the paper and binding, and the story behind the work. When a book sells out, its page stays online as a record of it.

For photographers

Built for the self-published book

A page for each of your books and one for you. You set the price, you send the books from your own studio, and collectors buy from you directly.

The journal

Stories behind the books

Articles on photobooks and the people who make them: how a book came together, the edit and sequence, the paper and the print. The first stories will be about books photographers send us.
