Loose Joints is an independent publishing house collaborating with leading and emerging artists on contemporary approaches to photography in book form. Loose Joints circulates new visual perspectives through a dedicated list seeking to elevate underrepresented voices in photographic discourse.
Our holistic approach to publishing allows us to work in close collaboration with artists from start to finish, with all design, editing and production done in-house.
Loose Joints also operates independently as a design studio, working across publishing and the arts.
In July 2021, we opened Ensemble, a bookshop in Marseille for books, editions and photography.
