A Salvador photo-book press focused on the Portuguese-speaking Black Atlantic, publishing small-run, bilingual books and describing an annual first-book prize.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-10 issue.
For
Photographers and readers of Black Atlantic photo books
Worth noticing
The first-book prize says there is no entry fee or financial contribution from the submitter; the press selects one book each year for full production.

Field notes

The five collections separate author monographs, first books, Atlantic co-editions, short cordel-inspired essays, and writing on image theory. The homepage gives unusually concrete production details for Coroas: 240 × 300 mm, 144 pages, Portuguese and English, and a stated run of 500 copies plus 40 numbered copies. Calunga 01 is marked “No prelo” for 2027; that is a listed forthcoming title, not evidence of a completed release.
