Progressive Publishing House (PPH) is a new and dynamic venture dedicated to contemporary photography. The company represents outstanding photographers from around the world, whose works it intends to publish.
But PPH is much more: magazines and books designed to showcase documentary photographers who focus on photojournalism, social issues, life in the street, travel, and so much more - with both enthusiasm and measured sensitivity. The underlying motivation is always to document the infinite variety and beauty of the Globe. But also the creativity with a new photo-art magazine, "Out of Bounds", and a series of photo-art books.
Don't miss this opportunity to see the world through the eyes of both experienced photographers and passionate amateurs. A different look: attractive, professional and vibrant.
Progressive Street is a "gang" of international photographers looking at the other side, yes, but in this world. We are an Art Gallery, an Agency and a small independent Publishing House: “streets all over the World, a sight of reality, the eyes of the street.” We are looking at the Globalised World. We show the effects of globalization. Photography as ethnography, our ethos is an anthropological, sociological, and social vision.
Our objective is to show everyday life, real life, without seeking the exceptional and without wanting purely to surprise. Today reality has become as complex as it has ever been in history. On the contrary, far from presenting reality, many photographs today are disconnected, presenting the everyday in the language of advertising or seemingly narcissistic acts. Through our reporting and initiatives, we aim to prompt reflection on what people see, opening a new window into the scene and perhaps revealing what they cannot see. We’re talking about small gestures caught in the most diverse situations, making people wonder what lies behind them. Photographs that remain photographs, not overly processed computer graphics. Narrative photographs, not just great scoops. Each is accompanied by precise text that identifies the places, people, and occasion.
“We would like to leave a sincere testimony, like the monks of the Middle Ages, without the blackmail of money and the homologation of consumerism.“
Members and guests of Progressive Street reside in all four corners of the world, and our professional standards are literally focused on all aspects of life, culture and politics - from New York City to Seoul, from Kolkata to Tel Aviv, London, Berlin, Istanbul, Paris, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, Milano, and to the smallest town.
Our strength consists in our numbers. We are many, yet connected through the virtual network. We are increasing every day, and continue to share the same ideals.
