Libraryman, founded in 2008 in Stockholm, Sweden by Tony Cederteg, produces and publishes contemporary photobooks through a carefully nurtured dialogue with diverse artistic perspectives. Unmoved by the noise of fleeting trends, Libraryman approaches each title as an intimate and enduring poem. Its inspirations are found in the elegance of minimal print, the eloquence of silence, and a profound, almost old-world romanticism for the craft.
Central to the idea of Libraryman is to serve as a complementary hand to the artist’s vision. Through a tactile, collaborative process, the publisher ensures that neither artist nor publisher compromises their distinct identities.
Libraryman Award
From 2019 to 2022, the Libraryman Award honored unpublished projects by artists working within the photographic medium. In time, a reimagined form of the award may return—renewed in structure, yet true to its original spirit of celebrating emerging photographic talent.
