For this Sofa Session Martin Parr is joined by Craig Atkinson of Café Royal Books for a conversation around photography, zines, independent publishing and the CRB journey from MySpace to an unrivalled photographic archive.
Craig has published over 500 documentary photography zines since he established CRB back in 2005, resulting in an extensive archive. Each CRB title presents a single story by a single photographer; collectively they aim to gather and organise a genre of photography that has often been neglected.
Martin and Craig talk about the origins of Craig's zine making, the CRB archive being represented in galleries and museums across the globe and why Café Royal Books is called Café Royal Books.
This video was filmed during the 2022 MPF exhibition, Cafe Royal Books: Documentary, Zines and Subversion.

Thanks @_pedro_vidal for commenting. It has been really important for us to show different aspects of photographic practice. Stay tuned as we have some further examples of discussion around others in the industry and the role of the wider networks and support in photographers

Again an another awesome interview...loved the question on "what are the gaps"... so insightful! Another different sofa conversation which helps us photographers get an insight into the mind of a publisher! Thanks so much for this great interview.

We are really happy you enjoyed this sofa session. It has been great to get more people from the wider industry involved in the sofa sessions and share their stories with our audience too.

Great interview- I’ve got quite a few Cafe Royal books, they are perfect for picking up on a whim.

The working class don't generally see themselves in left wing terms of oppressed and oppressor, unless they have been taught to. When spare cash was available the people I knew revelled in their pleasures, but that is rarely reflected in the social science approach of British photography. That said, Café Royal have put some interesting work into print.
