5B4 Photography and Books
@jeffrey_ladd5B4 Photography and Books, launched in April 2020, is a Patreon community curated by Jeffrey Ladd dedicated to the exploration and appreciation of photobooks. Ladd delves into a wide range of photobook genres, including artist books, documentary photobooks, unintentional photobooks, industrial photobooks, company photobooks, advertising booklets, and oddities. His monthly articles provide insightful analysis and context, enriching the understanding of these often overlooked visual narratives. With over 206 members, including 82 paid subscribers, the community has demonstrated significant growth and engagement. The estimated monthly earnings range from $249 to $830, reflecting the consistent value offered by Ladd's unique perspective on this niche subject matter. What distinguishes 5B4 is its focused approach to a specific area of photography – the photobook itself – offering a depth of knowledge and curated content rarely found elsewhere. The community fosters appreciation for the artistry and history embedded within these diverse photographic collections.
