"The hardest thing in photography is seeing," stresses Djan Seylan, whose fourth book, On My Own, brings together 127 black-and-white photographs made between 1957 and 2016. From Turkey, his father's land, to Burma, from Sardinia to Madagascar, or Iran, Egypt, Greece, Portugal, Haiti, Cuba, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Ceylon and India, Seylan draws us into a world without convoluted compositions, rich in "authentic moments". A testimony to a discreet passion, On My Own also shows how, over the course of his travels with his Leica, Seylan has cultivated a very personal art of looking, in which the unexpected and "the intensity of corrosive emotions" dominate.

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.
