Self Publish, Be Happy (SPBH) is an organisation founded by Bruno Ceschel [1] in 2010 that aims to help aspiring photographers to self-publish their own books. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] It does so through workshops, talks, exhibitions, live events, on/offline projects and publicising of books. It is based on Ridley Road, in Dalston, London, where it keeps a library of some 2000 donated self-published zines and books. [7]
Since 2012 Self Publish, Be Happy has also published photography books as SPBH Editions. [2] [8] Ceschel is its director and Antonio de Luca its art director. It has published books by Broomberg & Chanarin, Cristina de Middel, Mariah Robertson, Lorenzo Vitturi and others.
SPBH produces various series of publications—SPBH Book Club, which are sold as part of a yearly subscription as well as sold separately; SPBH Pamphlets, pamphlets with photography and text, including one by Anouk Kruithof; and Self Publish Be Naughty (SPBN), books of intimate pictures of people by their romantic partners. [5]
In November 2015 Ceshel's book Self Publish, Be Happy: A DIY Photobook Manual and Manifesto was published by Aperture. [6] [9] [10]
Parr and Badger include Self Publish Be Naughty (2011) in the third volume of their photobook history. [11] [12]
Critic Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian, said "An accurate measure of SPBH’s importance to the contemporary cottage industry is the array of photobooks they have featured that I would cite as contemporary classics." [10]
