Marsel van Oosten
Van Oosten works at the scale of a single subject: one elephant, one waterfall, one tree. In a 270 x 360mm format, printed by teNeues, that turns out to be quite enough.

Nick Brandt, Zoë Lescaze and 1 other
The photographs in this book should not exist. Nick Brandt somehow made them anyway, entirely in-camera, on the ocean floor off Fiji.

Pauline Vermare, Lesley A. Martin and 5 others
The most comprehensive English-language survey of Japanese women's photography to date, and unusual for a picture book in having the scholarly translations to support that claim.
Aperture · Photography
Tina Barney, Quentin Bajac and 2 others
Barney's three decades of large-format portraits of the New England upper class, organised thematically and accompanied by serious critical texts, published to coincide with her first European retrospective at Jeu de Paume.

David Armstrong, Colleen Doyle
Armstrong's contact prints show how much he was watching: what he caught between sessions, what got filed away, and who was around. The first posthumous catalogue of his work, reproduced at 1:1 scale, makes the case for everything he did not exhibit.

Richard Avedon, Laura Wilson and 1 other
Avedon went west for five years and photographed working people against a portable white background. Forty years on, the same 103 images arrive in the same trim size. The argument about whether he should have made them is still unresolved.

Sam Lubell
A case for American architecture as an act of resistance: 150 years of buildings that pushed back against whatever style everyone else was doing, in 288 pages of full-colour photography.

Steve McQueen, Dionne Brand and 1 other
McQueen photographs Grenada's flowers without flattening them into symbols, and the book holds together as both an object and an argument. Irma Boom's design is part of what makes it work.
