“VIEWFINDER is a monthly photobook collaboratively produced by Yasmine Hussain and Lydia Garnett who met on the Photography BA in Brighton 2007. In September 2008 they began producing the photobooks as an outlet for the vast amount of images they were accumulating, a loosely themed 16 page selection of their photographs and to accompany- an online blog. There aim was to produce something cheap, something collectable, and something tangible that could be cherished carefully inside its brown paper casing or pulled apart and pinned onto walls. A limited number of books are printed each month and are previewed on the blog- they go down a consistent treat at The Photographer’s Gallery so get in quick if you want to pick one up! As well as the books the girls held their first exhibition last October and are looking forward to future shows. The books are sold for £2 either from the girls directly at viewfinderr@hotmail.co.uk, from The Photographer’s Gallery, London, from Achromat gallery, Brighton or in the B-Side Empire shop [COMING SOON!].
