Limited availability to purchase the link in bio
For over a decade, artist Nick Offord documented the unseen intervals of men’s fashion weeks across Paris, New York, London, and Milan. A model himself, Offord turned the camera inward, capturing the waiting rooms, shared hotel beds, budget flights, and idle hours that rarely reach the surface of fashion imagery. With a disarming mix of bold colour, youthful energy, and candid intimacy, ‘No Shows’ traces the early days of emerging talent - a portrait of adolescence suspended between uncertainity and desire.
Nick Offord (b.1990) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, fashion projects, and sculptural works. Having worked as a model for over ten years, his photographic practice emerged from within this world, offering an intimate viewpoint to its unfiltered moments. ‘No Shows’ is his second monograph after the release of ‘Singing In A World That’s Falling Apart’ in 2024

Tyger Tyger is a 124-page monograph by Benjamin Butcher, weaving an expansive noir set in a fictionalised metropolis where a tiger roams the city freely. The book offers an intimate and quiet examination of the intricate relationship between metropolitan life and the natural world.
The title is drawn from William Blake’s poem The Tyger (1794), which ruminates on the duality of beauty and destruction. Butcher’s photographs, like Blake’s verses, pose open-ended questions, inviting viewers to reflect on greater realities such as power imbalances, fragility, and the natural world’s enduring presence in the face of urban expansion.
