Join us for the February Aperture PhotoBook Club gathering where we’ll discuss a selection of titles chosen from the 2022 Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards Shortlist.

Initiated in November 2012 by Aperture and Paris Photo, the Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards celebrate the photobook’s contribution to the evolving narrative of photography, with three major categories: First PhotoBook, PhotoBook of the Year, and Photography Catalogue of the Year. The full 2022 shortlist, including the Juror’s Special Mention category of PhotoBooks for Ukraine, will be at Printed Matter, opening January 14 and on view through February 26.
