@besidespress here 👋 on the last day of our takeover! Thanks for tuning in, and we’ll see you in october @bop_bristol 2026 ❤️

Images from the book Assent, by @michaelalberry, a limited edition, available in our online shop 👀 (link in the @besidespress bio)

Assent is a book of portraits of riot police officers made at the Kill the Bill protests against the British Government’s ‘Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill’ — legislation designed to extend police powers to stop peaceful protest. The Bill was passed into law through its ‘Royal Assent’ in 2022 and is widely employed by police forces in the UK today.

On the evening of 21 March 2021, after thousands attended a peaceful demonstration against the Bill, violence erupted in clashes between police and protesters outside Bristol’s central police station.

Photographing through riot shields and visors, Alberry finds faces caught between aggression, fatigue, and mingling doubt. Drawing on Sartre’s concept of bad faith, the book examines how individuals internalise the institutional roles they perform — how personal conscience becomes subsumed by duty to state authority.

When first opened, the French-folded pages make only the text of the Bill visible. To reach the portraits of those it empowers, the reader must cut open each sealed page — a deliberate act that exposes the fragile, conflicted humanity beneath the machinery of law.

👋 @besidespress here for our takeover for the next few days - thanks for hosting us! We’ll be posting some of our titles and artists, and about our new studio service too. Tune in!

Besides Press is a photobook publishing house dedicated to photography made in a spirit of urgent curiosity. We are drawn to projects sparked by unfolding events, daily routines, and close collaborations - photography au pied levé…

Through a playful and imaginative approach to design and production, we shape these projects into books that give lasting form to work made in a spirit of improvisation and immediacy.

Here you can see us building Black Cat Kingdom by the great @sari_soininen, which we will post about in the next few days too (few copies left of this title now - available in our website shop).

Roll on BOP ❤️‍🔥
