In photography we think we move very fast, especially in snapshot style, shot by instinct the moment they are "seen", sometimes faster than we realise; swallows are always fascinating for their incredible agility, darting at speed without ever colliding. Shooting mostly at a thousandth of a second, indifferent to the sacrosanct depth of field, the photographer turns his stays in Andalusia into a game of who is faster, the swallows or himself, the ultimate challenge being the true test of the instant, the meeting of two agilities.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
