The reputable Dutch online media about contemporary photography LensCulture, which has an audience of more than 3 million readers, included the Ukrainian book “MYPH – Images from the Mykolaiv Young Photography School” in the list of the most favorite publications of 2022. This is stated on the media website.

LensCulture has published a selection of publications, which was formed by 36 curators, editors, artists and photography experts. The media notes that this list does not define the best, but provides a “delightfully diverse list of great recommendations”.

The LensCulture editorial team believes that photo books open up new worlds and different ways of seeing the work of photographers and can be compelling objects of art themselves.
