My favorite from the recent past is Sleep Creek by Dylan Hausthor & Paul Guilmoth, published by void. It's eerie, varied and relies on a good edit alone to tell its story. The book is cheap for a photobook and it feels good to support indie publishers.
Ordered it with Cammie Toloui's 5 Dollars for 3 Minutes – archival photos by a stripper taking portraits of her customers.
All time favorites include Andres Gonzalez – American Origami, a book about school shootings in the US. Pictures are fine, the book design is extremely clever and and superbly designed, like everything Hans Gremmen publishes on Fw:Books.
The war triology by Christoph Bangert also never fails to suck me back in. War Porn is about the horrors of war and (self) censorship. Hello Camel is about the absurdity and the fun side of war. Rumors of war is a personal reflection on what it means to go to war as a photographer and how to quit.
The collection of works by Masahisa Fukase published by Editions Xavier Barral is a pure well of inspiration: there is something fresh to be found on every page.
