YANNI FLORENCE ISBN: 978-0-9924302-8-3 In this large format book of 26 photographs, Yanni Florence identifies and documents the iterations of a specific and highly charged genre of t-shirts.  The photographs position fashion as a public and political statement made by the wearer either consciously or otherwise. They are significant photographs in that they capture a change in public acceptance, or is it obliviousness?

YANNI FLORENCE ISBN: 978-0-9924302-0-7 ANIMAL LIFE consists of forty-six photographs by Yanni Florence, which in the city light and streets capture the animal figure and print in fashion and the bodies that inhabit it. An essay by Archeologist Greg Deftereos accompanies the images in this hardcover book with animal print end papers. “All this pertains to the perception that appearance reflects upon the wearer, their state of mind, their perception of self and how they are choosing to present themselves to others. Clothes are like sentences in a language and…. → More details

YANNI FLORENCE ISBN: 978-0-9924302-6-9 These photographs were taken by Yanni Florence not on assignment but as an aside while a participant in the weekly shopping trip to the SOUTHLAND shopping centre.

DREW PETTIFER ISBN: 978-0-9924302-4-5 “The camera desires what I desire, it captures these subjects and possesses them. It records these moments for me, and I in turn share them with my audience (with the subjects’ consent).” Drew Pettifer, 2014 Following hot on the heels of his playfully provocative 2011 publication I keep mine hidden, Drew Pettifer presents a more languid, more moody and delicate collection of images in his latest book from M.33. Once again taking its name from a song title; this one from the Japanese band, Hoahio’s Less…. → More details

NATHAN MILLER ISBN: 978-0-9871670-9-5  In his latest body of work SOMEWHERE IN JAFFA, Israeli born Australian photographer Nathan Miller captures with great sensitivity the visually captivating environs and atmosphere of the Israeli city of Jaffa, along with the rhythms of daily life there from the perspective of its diverse population. He presents us with a nuanced portrait of a part of the world of which we have very little real understanding.

JULIE SHIELS ISBN: 978-0-9871670-8-8 AS LONG AS IT LASTS is a collection of photographs that record Julie Shiels ephemeral text interventions on urban waste. Over the last nine years, Shiels has transformed hundreds of abandoned objects on local streets with stencils of quotations and truisms sourced from the public domain. She says of the project: “I wanted to rework the detritus to reveal the tensions that occur as a suburb becomes both more desirable and simultaneously more homogeneous. Over time the intention became less about the social and more concerned…. → More details

PETER MILNE ISBN: 978-0-9871670-4-0 Peter Milne’s WHEN NATURE FORGETS is a sardonic photographic documentation of historical diorama displays which focuses on dummies, mannequins and dolls in a range of locations across Australia, ranging from small local history displays to major state-run institutions. Milne’s investigation of these sites where history is recreated for our edification and entertainment yields humorously absurd yet often touching and emotionally disturbing results. “In Milne’s photographs, the dummies are seen in all their frozen artificiality, in their materiality as commercial furnishings, but they simultaneously come to life…. → More details
