ln 2025, Brandon Stanton, creator of Humans of New York and author of four #1 NYT bestselling books, will publish his most personal work yet: Dear New York, a photographic love letter to the city he has embraced. Opening with a deeply moving prologue that reads like a train ride through the city, the book expands into nearly five hundred full-color pages of portraits and stories from the streets of New York. And for the first time ever, unlike Stanton's past books which were curated from his massive body of online work, more than 75-percent of the stories in Dear New York have never been published before.

Stanton created the groundbreaking first volume of Humans of New York in 2013, only three years after beginning his photography career. Called one of the most important art projects of the decade by The Washington Post, its unique combination of intimate portraiture and on-the-spot interviews spawned a style of storytelling that has become a hallmark of our digital age. Twelve years later, having now interviewed more than ten thousand people around the world, a seasoned artist returns home with a very personal mission: to use everything he's learned, to capture the city he loves most.

A Guyanese grandmother boxing beneath the Roosevelt Island Bridge. A political refugee practicing Tai chi during a blizzard. A fentanyl dealer bringing his child to a playground on the Lower East Side. Dear New York is a book filled with contradictions, yet brimming with life. It is an unprecedented portrait of the world's greatest city, and a deeply personal tribute to the people who provide its soul.

With this year's 2021 Summer Olympics hosted in Tokyo, Japan, skateboarding will make its Olympic debut; augmenting both park and street competitions for men and women. As this book is a culmination and photographic collection of the past three decade's growth of skateboarding throughout the US focusing in on the pivotal decade of the 1990s, the addition of this sport in the summer's upcoming games is of considerable relevance to the skateboarding pioneers featured in this work.

To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in '93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making a livable income as a professional skater was a rare luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovative style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the '90s were the golden years of skateboarding.

'93 til is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for '93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and has never been seen or published before. The 230-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late '80s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists.

Also included in the book alongside Pete's imagery are quotes and anecdotes from legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and others. Although still a working photographer, Pete moved on from his career in skate photography in 2004 and is currently living in Brooklyn.

Magnum Streetwise is the definitive collection of street photography from Magnum Photos, and an unparalleled opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the true greats of the genre. An essential addition to the street photography canon, this volume showcases hidden gems alongside many of street photography's most famous images.

Magnum photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson pioneered modern concepts of street photography before the term was even coined. A rich seam of street photography runs through the heart of Magnum to this day, both in the work of recognized masters of the genre--including Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr, Bruce Gilden, and Richard Kalvar--and in the work of those who may not think of themselves as street photographers, despite their powerful influence on the current generation of budding artists. Magnum Streetwise is a true visual feast, interleaving insightful text and anecdotes within an intuitive blend of photographer- and theme-focused sections. Ambitious in scope and democratic in nature, Magnum Streetwise is an unmissable tour through the photographs and practices that have helped define what street photography is--and what it can be.

Chicago in Color offers a new minimalist and colorful perspective of Chicago. 

In 2019, photographer Judit Prat Martí left behind her hometown of Terrassa, a city near Barcelona, and moved to Chicago to accept a position as part of the Astronomy and Astrophysics Department at the University of Chicago. Upon arriving in Chicago, she endeavored to explore and understand Chicago from all its perspectives through her photography.

Chicago in Color is the result of this exploration and a love letter to Chicago and to the people she has met in the city. The book presents a new collection of photographs taken in 32 different neighborhoods, showcasing 17 neighborhoods on the South Side.

Each photo has been artfully edited to highlight a specific color or color combination, offering a new way to see the city that will inspire readers to appreciate the beauty in the small things that are present in all neighborhoods of Chicago.

The first in the City Editions series by Trope Publishing Co., Chicago showcases a unique view of one of the most photographed cities in the world by 27 independent photographers from Chicago and beyond. This carefully curated and beautifully bound collection of 206 stunning photographs offers a perspective of Chicago as it has never been seen before.

Collectively, the photographs represent a distinctive urban view of the city. The Chicago Edition is divided into eight chapters, primarily focused on the lakefront and downtown areas showcasing iconic buildings, streets and parks. Each chapter is accompanied by a map along with the locations where the photographs were taken. The images reflect the interests of the photographers rather than serving as a comprehensive guide to the city. In many cases, there are several photographs of the same location, shot at different times of the day, in different seasons, with different tones. These studies offer a strong point-of-view, whether digitally processed, filtered, toned, or sharpened -- giving each image a contemporary and urban sensibility.

Editors Sam Landers and Tom Maday spent nearly a year identifying and meeting with the photographers and meticulously editing their portfolios to produce this unique book. While the photographers come from all walks of life, they share a common passion to visually capture their city like never before, said Landers. They demonstrate incredible resolve and discipline - shooting tirelessly day and night, in rain and snow, to get 'the shot'- resulting in images and perspectives that few Chicagoans experience, added Maday.

'Look beyond the obvious. Street photography is what you make it'.

Craig Whitehead's shots of the streets are unique - his sense of colour, composition, storytelling and timing have earned him a hugely dedicated following. But how does he consistently take such special images, and what are the key creative takeaways to bring to your own photography?

Find Your Frame is Whitehead's personal how-to guide to a craft he has spent many years honing. Across 20 short, sharp lessons, he reveals his secrets, his tips, his creative approach, his sources of inspiration, and his way of seeing, shooting and anticipating the streets.

Illustrated throughout with example images, and full of creative wisdom and advice, this is the start of your journey toward better street photography and a more creative way of visual thinking.

With nearly two million followers on social media, the go-to street style authority--known as The People's Paparazzi--Watching New York's first book highlights the best in NYC street fashion.

Foreword by Gigi Hadid

Watching New York is an A-Z visual exploration capturing the best street style New York City has to offer. Dubbed the The People's Paparazzi, Johnny Cirillo has been making a name for himself with his candid shots of everyday people walking the streets of NYC--from Williamsburg to Soho--and capturing their creative, one-of-a-kind looks on his popular Instagram and TikTok accounts @watchingnewyork, where he has amassed millions of dedicated followers.

The book is a continuation of Johnny's mission of highlighting the best, quirkiest, and most authentic looks and the incredibly creative minds behind them. A combination of Humans of New York meets The Sartorialist, Watching New York includes new and old photos and is organized by look or style from A to Z (from accessories to zebra stripes) with a heavy emphasis on interviews and quotes appearing throughout to showcase the people who make NYC the fashion capital of the world.

The 'Masters of Photography' series is a new approach to photography how-to. Each volume is dedicated to the work of one key photographer who, through a series of bite-sized lessons and ideas, tells you everything you always wanted to know about their approach to taking photographs. From their influences, ideas and experiences, to tech tips and best shots.

The series begins with Joel Meyerowitz, who will teach you, among other essentials: how to use a camera to reclaim the streets as your own, why you need to watch the world always with a sense of possibility, how to set your subjects at ease, and the importance of being playful and of finding a lens that suits your personality.

Eric Haze: Nobody has captured the nuances of New York City better than Matt Weber, with an unerringly honest eye for the human experience and the spaces that frame it. Always living in the moment, Matt's focus ranges from the empty, lonely streets of a sleeping city to tender, intimate moments caught in the air, as well as private and public rage exposed in the myriad of ways that such close proximity to each can breed.

Culled from the extensive archives of one of the most renowned graffiti photographers of all time comes this remarkable collection of previously unpublished images of New York's graffiti scene in the 1980s.

If you were a graffiti writer in 1980s New York City, you wanted Martha Cooper to document your work--and she probably did.

Cooper has spent decades immortalizing art that is often overlooked, and usually illegal. Her first book, 1984's Subway Art (a collaboration with Henry Chalfant), is affectionately referred to by graffiti artists as the bible.

To create Spray Nation, Cooper and editor Roger Gastman pored through hundreds of thousands of 35mm Kodachrome slides, painstakingly selecting and digitizing them. The photos range from obscure tags to portraits, action shots, walls, and painted subway cars. They are accompanied by heartfelt essays celebrating Cooper's drive, spirit, and singular vision. The images capture a gritty New York era that is gone forever.

And although the original pieces (as well as many of their creators) have been lost, these powerful photos feel as immediate as a subway train thundering down the tracks.

New Orleans is a city of contradictions: comic and tragic, sacred and secular, profound and profane; steeped heavily in tradition and religion yet drenched in decadence and debauchery. The Danse Macabre reveals the city's rebellious and humorous spirit, which celebrates life in the face of disaster and death.

In this street-level tableau of New Orleans culture, photographer Cheryl Gerber portrays the city's rich and famous while paying homage to the everyday people who make life so special in her hometown. Colorful shots of Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, second lines, and other iconic arrays of New Orleans culture are juxtaposed with images of the homelessness, crime, and racism that are equally central to life in the Crescent City. Within these pages we find Southern Decadence revelers clashing with religious protesters, Catholic traditions merging with Voodoo, and New Orleanians from all walks of life expressing themselves through satire and parody. In short, we witness the city not only as a backdrop to cataclysmic confrontations, but also as a force that rouses them.

Over the last seven years, Melissa O'Shaughnessy has photographed daily on the streets of New York.
As one of a growing number of women street photographers contributing to this dynamic genre, O'Shaughnessy enters the territory with clarity and a distinctly humanist eye, offering a refreshing addition to the tradition of street photography. Through her curious and quirky vision, we witness the play of human activity on the glittering sidewalks of the city. Woven into her cast of characters are the lonely, the soulful, and the proud. She has fallen for them all--perfect strangers.

Showcasing both the quiet traditionalism and sleek futurism of contemporary Tokyo, the images reveal distinctive and dramatic visions of one of the world's greatest cities.
