SUMMER OF SOMETHING SPECIAL Volume 5
A visual diary of summer captured by our favorite photographers from around the globe.
2023 marks the fifth year of Summer of Something Special (SoSS), SSS’s annual photo book inviting photographers from across the globe to share their favorite summer snaps. To celebrate a half-decade of the project, we went big with Volume 5, highlighting the work of sixty-five photographers (instead of the usual ten to thirteen). Clocking in at 428 pages, SoSS V5 is our most ambitious volume yet.
We curated featured photographers through a mix of outreach to talent we admire and community submissions — the latter of which introduced us to some new favorites (and does so year after year). Featured photographers include:
As a commemorative touch, this year's book includes a custom dust cover that unfolds to reveal a poster featuring the work of all sixty-five photographers. SSS donates all Summer of Something Special proceeds to Ghetto Film School — an award-winning nonprofit founded in 2000 to educate, develop, and celebrate the next generation of great storytellers.
