Stephen Gill

Stephen Gill (b. 1971, Bristol) is a British conceptual photographer and the founder of Nobody Books, the independent imprint through which he has self-published his work since the mid-2000s.

Gill's practice is built around long-term projects that resist straightforward documentation. His method frequently involves introducing elements of nature and chance directly into the photographic process — insects, soil, seeds, and other materials have been used to physically alter negatives and prints. Works such as The Pillar, Pigeons, and Night Procession demonstrate how consistently this approach shapes both the image and the book as an object. The book is not a container for the work; it is part of it.

Lokator100 stocks Gill's titles within its Photography & Photobooks catalogue because they hold up to sustained attention. These are publications worth reading carefully, keeping, and returning to over time.
