About Red Hook Editions
Red Hook Editions is an independent photobook publisher and publishing community based in Brooklyn, New York. Founded by photographers, the imprint was created as an alternative to traditional publishing structures, placing artistic control and shared responsibility at the center of the bookmaking process.
Red Hook Editions operates on a collaborative model in which photographers are actively involved in shaping their books from the earliest stages through production, distribution, and promotion. Rather than transferring ownership or creative authority to a publisher, artists remain closely connected to every decision, ensuring that each book reflects their original vision and long-term intentions.
The organization describes itself as a publishing community rather than a conventional press. Its network includes photographers, editors, designers, printers, and advisers who work together to bring projects to life with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, clarity of concept, and material quality. Books published by Red Hook Editions are known for their careful design, thoughtful pacing, and physical presence as objects. (Website, Instagram)
