21st Editions creates what many consider to be the most elegant photographic art books in the world. Our fine books and portfolios have been purchased by major collectors and museums from around the world. Our titles are illustrated with signed original photographs in platinum and silver. Each book is handmade, one at a time, using the finest papers, bindings, and often, letterpress printing. They are published in very small editions, and are individually signed by the artists and writers.

Many people have worked in this vein of collaging pictures through the history of art. See David Hockey’s wonderful collages… While the technique is not new these images by Sohei Nishino are particularly ambitious.
