Raymond Meeks is an American photographer famous for the short-printrun editions that he self-publishes, often including prints in the publications. His work revolves around a special bond to his subjects, whether a proximity to the people (family & friends), or a connection, an attachment to places.
Raymond has also published several photobooks with Nazraeli Press between 2006 and 2010. In 2018, he published "Halfstory Halflife" in France with Chose Commune, and in 2020 "ciprian honey cathedral" with Mack.
In 2021, Mack published "SOmersault", a second edition of a photobook Raymond Meeks self-published a few years prior.

Duane Michals is an American photographer known for his photographic sequences, his captioned images, and for his portraits of celebrities, in particular within the artistic world. However he prefers to present himself in this way: "I am an expressionist and by that I mean I'm not a photographer or a writer or a painter or a tap dancer, but rather someone who expresses himself according to his needs."
He has published numerous books since the seventies, and many more books have been published around his work. Among them: "A Visit with Magritte" (Matrix, 1981 and Steidl, 2011), "Sleep and Dream" (Lustrum Press, 1984), "Eros and Thanatos" (Twin Palms, 1992), "The Adventures of Constantine Cavafy" (Twin Palms, 2007) and "Empty New York" (Enitharmon, 2018).
In 2021, his photobook "The Idiots Delight", published by Editions Bessard, received the "Photo-Text Book Award" at the Rencontres d'Arles festival 2021.
