Chris Shaw (b. 1961) is an English documentary photographer whose work captures the atmosphere of night, class, and place in contemporary Britain. His ten-year project Life as a Night Porter (Twin Palms, 2005) established his reputation for deeply personal, atmospheric storytelling. Other notable photobooks include Before and After Night Porter (Kehrer, 2012), Weeds of Wallasey (Superlabo, 2012), Retrospecting Sandy Hill (Morel, 2015), and The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game (Zen Photo, 2019). Shaw’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at Tate Britain, which holds ninety-five of his prints. Recently, he has expanded into fashion photography, contributing to publications such as Another Man and Dapper Dan Magazine.
The inaugural issue celebrates the work of Spanish photographer Suffo Moncloa. Designed by Ben Kelway Studio and distributed by Antenne Books, this issue features three sections:
- Fashion: five fashion stories spanning approximately 90 pages.
- Artist Dialogue: A conversation with Michaël Borremans, written by Maisie Skidmore, alongside an interview on the philosophy of Montana by Tallulah Harlech.
- Carte Blanche: A short story by David Campany, a revised portfolio, and the visual story "The Visitor."

This photo book brings together early works by Monclo) primarily created before 2015. The collection evokes a wild dreamlike realm filled with figures and symbols that gesture toward an apocalyptic landscape. As in dreams, clear narratives dissolve upon waking; what lingers are fleeting impressions, vivid details, and the residue of emotion.
Revisited during the early months of the pandemic, when the future felt difficult to envision, these images revealed unexpected connections. Iconic moments surfaced: a herd of black horses, a lotus flower captured in China, a factory rising along a road to Valencia. Presented first in black and white, the photographs take on a distant, almost otherworldly presence, inviting new interpretations. When arranged and paired, they began to form fractured narratives that guided a return through the archive, completing a journey once left open.
The result is a work shaped by uncertainty yet driven by the impulse to imagine boldly. It reflects the fragility of human existence, mere flickering specks in the vast history of the earth, while encouraging the audacity to dream wildly. Ultimately, the book settles into a quiet sense of renewal, echoing the lotus that rises through murky water toward light.
The project is presented in two parts and accompanied by a poster.

Introduction by David Campany
‘Evidences’ is a curated collection of photos taken over a period of five years. With these 79 photographs, Suffo Moncloa constructs a meditative journey, a multifaceted dialogue between images based on decontextualized language, with evocations from form, colour, implied mystery, and the inherent power of the image itself. The collection’s narratives deal directly with the elements that make up our world, but also with the idea of creating a timeless image. It includes evidences from the working process, dark room experimentation, and reconstruction. The idea of materiality becomes central; capturing moments when a vision can be transformed into an object, or something else.
