YETA — Independent Photography Journal
Your Eyes To Art — Photography and the Art of Looking Closely.
YETA is the independent photography magazine of Art Vision Syndicate. It focuses on street photography, photographic art and personal perspectives on everyday life. YE2A is the magazine’s graphic emblem.
Images That Invite a Second Look
A gesture, a shadow, an encounter: we are interested in photographs that take us beyond a first impression. In distinctive visual voices, quiet nuances and unexpected connections.

Photo Books
Photo books from Matti Duerr’s library are explored as visual worlds in their own right. Facts and personal interpretation remain clearly separate; photographers, authors and publishers are explicitly credited, and image rights are cleared before any reproduction.
Our selection of recent releases begins with Mark Fearnley’s The Art of Solitude. Photographers, authors and publishers are welcome to introduce their new titles to us; self-published books and zines are welcome too. All articles in the Photo Books section →
