The first title of this series, New Photography in Britain is dedicated to seventeen emerging English photographers. This publication was created in collaboration with the Royal College of Art in London and explores three main topics: the artist’s world, their personal feelings towards this world, and their relationship with the world around them. The artists included in this book—many of whom have shown their work in important galleries such as Victoria Miro or Maureen Paley, as well as in the collections of the Saatchi Gallery and the Tate Modern—are Lucy Levene, Lisa Castagner, Sarah Pickering, Anne Hardy, Esther Teichmann, Gareth McConnell, Melissa Moore, Suzanne Mooney, Harold Offeh, Sophie Rickett, Annabel Elgar, Danny Treacy, Kirk Palmer, Becky Beasley, Bianca Brunner, Simon Cunningham, and Heiko Tieman.

New Photography in Britain, edited by Filippo Maggia, is the first volume in the new series dedicated by Skira to contemporary photography. London, today the indisputable capital of international contemporary art, is the base for the 18 artists examined in this book:Becky Beasley, Bianca Brunner, Lisa Castagner, Simon Cunningham, Annabel Elgar, Anne Hardy, Lucy Levene, Gareth McConnell, Brigida Mendes, Suzanne Mooney, Melissa Moore, Harold Offeh, Kirk Palmer, Sarah Pickering, Sophy Rickett, Esther Teichmann,Heiko Tiemann and Danny Treacy. The talented new artists emerging in every country here find plenty of space in which to present their work to specialised critics and to an increasingly numerous public, responsive to the latest developments in photography as art, itself one of the most effective instruments for depicting reality today. Every volume is edited by historians of photography, critics and curators who select a small group of artists, after a period of research lasting over a year. The volume on British photography will be followed by New Photography in Italy and later by New Photography in Japan.
