Why did we create Hemeria?

You might be hearing about our young publishing house for the first time. So it's crucial for us to explain why we created this house when so many others already exist, and consequently, why your trust makes what we do so meaningful.

In a nutshell:

• The photographers we support are developing long-term projects. Their commitment through image production is total: from Laurent Ballesta to Caroline Riegel, they all have the ambition to show the beauty of the world, to highlight the uniqueness of those who compose it, and invite us to preserve this beauty.
• With the photographers, we pre-finance all the books we publish ourselves: we have our own crowdfunding platform, which allows us to raise the necessary funds to finance production. So it's thanks to you and all photography lovers that these books exist: participating in crowdfunding is a virtuous act, and it allows us to adjust the quantity of books printed as best as possible.
• We manage the printing of our books ourselves: our expertise in handling the images entrusted to us is unique, and we integrate custom technology, adapted to each project, so that these images express all their potential.
• Our books are printed on the finest creative papers on the market and by printers of our choice, who are able to integrate our technologies into their machines, and this in France, Germany or Spain.
• We share the profits from sales with the photographers fairly: the value of their work is associated with the value of our expertise. It is only normal that their remuneration is commensurate with the long-term partnership that we develop with them.
• In an increasingly dematerialized world, we use all the assets of digital technology to continue to ensure that the physical book, paper, and photography continue to exist. Because, yes, better than a screen, a book can be touched, offered and shared, it is a living, durable material.
