Why the photo book still matters (With Darius Himes) | SC Pictures

In this conversation, Stewart Cohen sits down with Christie's International Head of Photographs, Darius Himes to explore the evolving world of photo books, publishing, licensing, and the business strategy behind a successful photography career. Are coffee table books still relevant? Darius says yes — and explains how the early 2000s e-commerce boom sparked a renaissance in photography publishing, fueled by renewed interest in the history of the photo book and the rise of independent art-house presses. He also discusses the influence of the Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Prize in shaping today’s global photography book landscape. Together, Stewart and Darius dive into: Why publishing a photo book is rarely about making money How to think of a book as a long-term marketing strategy Using books to spark gallery shows, press, and career momentum Whether licensing diminishes fine art value (and why it often doesn’t) The risks of flooding the market with large editions Why smaller print editions tend to perform better long-term The takeaway? Being an artist today means wearing a business hat, too. If you’re a photographer considering a book project — or looking to better understand how to position your work in today’s art market — this conversation is packed with valuable insight.
