Since Field Mag's official launch in late 2015 we have published over 5,000 film photographs in some 200 photo essays. Photography is the foundation our humble corner of the internet has been built on, and a lifelong passion of my own. So it only made sense that sooner or later we would bring those digital files to life in print form. Today, I am excited to announce the release of FM01: SUMMER, a photo zine celebrating all we love about this season of adventure and joy.
Featuring 60 pages of 35mm and 120 film photographs from 30 contributors, the limited-edition 5.5" x 8.5" photo book is now available for pre-order for $25.
UPDATE: All 250 hand-numbered print editions have sold out. Sign up for the Field Report newsletter to stay informed on future releases and other Field Mag goings-on.
To honor the many photographers who have contributed to Field Mag over the years, SUMMER features the work of longstanding contributors Alex Strohl, Andrew Upchurch, Bella Rojas, Bob Myaing, Brandon Scott Herrell, Brian Chorski, Christian Ramirez, Christie Fitzpatrick, Gabriella Angotti-Jones, Graham Hiemstra, Hiram Trejo, Ian Durkin, Jaka Bulc, Jake Tovar, Kiana Toossi, Kristin Ellis, Larkin Jasiuk, Luis Ortega, Madeline Tolle, Mark McInnis, Matt Steindl, Nicola Anderson, Nicola Odemann, Skyler Greene, Sophie Kuller, Tanner Bowden, Tom Powell, and Vic Garcia.
Design by fellow New York-based designer Kiana Toossi.
Though zines traditionally come saddle stitched (or stapled), I couldn't help but elevate our first ever print project to match the postcard worthy quality of the photography inside. As such, SUMMER is being printed perfect bound by New York City-based studio Bestype Imaging. Though it is considerably more expensive to print in the USA, especially locally, we think it's important to support the small businesses at the root of our creative communities.
Rising tides lift all ships, after all. We hope you agree.
FM01: SUMMER is now available for pre-order for $25. Shipping begins week of 28 August 2023.
