'Paris, China' by François Prost. 88pp, paperback, 162mm x 127mm.
Tianducheng is a small suburb in China modelled on Paris — it even has a replica Eiffel Tower. These photographs of near-identical landmarks in both places beg the question: is imitation really the highest form of flattery?
François Prost is a Parisian photographer, graphic designer and art director. When he’s not working for editorial or commercial clients he spends his time on personal photography projects, documenting façades of local French nightclubs, machine gun shops in the US and Chinese scooters. In 2020 he started photographing the similarities between the real Venice and replicas in Las Vegas and Hangzhou, China.

'Sunday Best: A celebration of diversity' by Katie Waggett, 176pp, hardback, 151mm x 199mm.
In the wake of a terror attack and determined not to let the voices of separatism win out, photographer Katie Waggett embarked on an intimate survey of London’s many religions. Her portraits of individuals in their most colourful religious outfits are accompanied by personal quotes, as well interiors from the places of worship. Sunday Best is a feast of colour and a love letter to a city that so depends on diversity for its survival.
‘As we tend to get caught up in the current climate of fear and hostility, Sunday Best reminds us to stop and think, to look beyond the surface and to challenge what we think we know about others.’ – Jilke Golbach, from the introduction
Katie Waggett is an award-winning documentary photographer based in London. Her work has been exhibited internationally.
