Founded in 2015, a collective of photographers formed the independent press, TIS Books, as a means to publish photobooks of their own work and others. Located in Brooklyn and Oakland, the press has since grown to publish a variety of photobook projects from their own community to artists of international renown. Their mission embraces the intimate relationship between humans and books and the organic way in which they come to life. In their own words… “Photobooks, we think, grow of themselves. They are the unique expressive and communicative form — the offspring of a camera and a mind at work in the world — to which TIS books is dedicated.” To learn more about TIS Books, please visit: https://www.tisbooks.pub
