Celebrate the quiet moments with The Reader, a photography book that beautifully captures people from around the world lost in the timeless act of reading.

Through stunning, intimate images from 19 talented photographers, The Reader showcases readers in a wide variety of settings, from cosy cafes to serene parks, city benches to sandy beaches. And despite the diversity of locations, each photograph portrays the universal yet deeply personal connection between a reader and the printed word. Four original essays written by independent bookstore owners and quotes from authors interspersed throughout the book explore the significance of reading, the emotions it evokes, and the escapism it provides.

The Reader invites you to pause and reflect on the quiet beauty of reading, both as a solitary act and a shared human experience.

Featured photographers include Elisabeth Argillier, Tiffany Bell, Boena Budzyska, Oliver Bunica, Graham Chapman, Christian Dumont, David Gonzalez, Greg Goyo Vargas, Lucy Hamidzadeh, Peter Jonker, Ian Kobylanski, Sam Landers, Judit Prat Mart, Declan McWhinney, Meg Miller, John Michael Rivera, Selene Sar, Andy Shigekawa, and Jeffery Xin.
