Self-published Showcase

A big part of our Photobook Fair has always been about supporting, promoting, and selling self-published photobooks by photographers and artists. We’re proud to continue our support and, following an international call-out, have selected the most unusual, compelling, and downright beautiful publications for our Self-published Showcase.
