Since the 2000s, there has been a glut of photography books. Through research and interviews with people involved in the photography and publishing worlds, Céline Ravier offers a snapshot of the new faces of photography publishing that are currently emerging in France. This investigation takes us from the origins of over-publication, related to digital innovations and the emergence of self-publishing, to its impact on the recomposition of a micro-market, the photographer’s status and the book format itself, a physical object that continues to proliferate as if it were an antidote to the digital age.
