LightBox presents our monthly round-up of the best books, exhibitions and ways to experience photography beyond the web—from Carrie Levy’s exhibition in North Carolina and Gabriel Orozco’s latest show in Edinburgh, to Newsha Tavakolian in Los Angeles and England based Trolley Books’ look back at their first ten years.
‘The Guide’ on LightBox will be published monthly. If you have submissions or suggestions for upcoming round-ups of the best books and exhibitions, feel free to pass them along via email before August 15. We’ll also be updating this gallery throughout the month.
