Coverless is a photographic collective. Our primary focus is on contemporary photography, which we then produce a self-published zine from.
This team of two consists of Jacob Dear & Mike Butt who are both documentary photographers who studied their MA & BA Hon's respectively at The University of Gloucestershire.
Both Jacob & Mike know how difficult it is to find an outlet for up & coming photographers, this is due to them being early on in their careers.
Social media is oversaturated with photographs, this is creating a knock-on effect as projects that are being produced are not getting the spotlight they deserve.
Coverless was created with the ideology to create a platform for photographers who create projects/bodies of work that are of pressing matters which should be in the public.
Projects
- Coverless Volume ThreeCoverless, V3 is a self-published Zine engaging with creatives and trying to help promote the work of recent graduates or lesser-known photographers. In volume three we wanted this zine to be completely female lead. We worked closely with Sarah Bloomer, a well established graphics designer who encapsulated the fantastic work of Ellie Mortell, Amy Gibbons, and Maria Ansell.
