The Saint Lucy Story
Saint Lucy Books was established in 2017 by artist and writer Mark Alice Durant. Our first book, Hidden Mother, by Laura Larson, was shortlisted for the Aperture / Paris Photo Best First Photobook of the Year. Since then, we have released 15 critically-acclaimed titles. Saint Lucy works on one book at a time; we value collaboration and respect to produce elegant, idiosyncratic, and accessible books that combine words and images to celebrate contemporary photographic artists, and to explore the marginal, hidden, and parallel histories of photography.
