Photography

Our photobook collections intention is to build one of the most diverse, and inclusive, free public access photobook collections in the world. Accessible to everyone to explore and be a part of. Our aim is to champion photographers and small publishers by giving a platform for promotion and shared collective learning.

What are we looking for? 

We are after personal projects that reflect a photographer's artistic output, whether that be a personal or commercial project. This can encompass any genre of photography, method of binding/printing and selected publishing house, we look for uniqueness and cherish alternative or low fi printing quality:

• Mainly self-published photobooks, zines or magazines.

As of this year, 2025, Palermofoto launches “casa & putìa”, an art residency program aimed at professional photographers who want to broaden their knowledge of ancient printing techniques, or visual artists with the same curiosity.

casa & putìa is born from the desire to share knowledge of antique photographic techniques with a broader community of artists, encouraging the exchange of ideas and the discovery of new forms of expression. Through this program, we aim to create a dialogue between past and present, offering a space where experimentation and tradition intertwine in unexpected ways.
