The Art of Kinfolk: An Iconic Lens on Life and Style

After 50 issues and 700,000 books in print, The Art of Kinfolk presents a compelling curation of our tenure in print. While the magazine has evolved over time, one defining characteristic has remained constant since its inception: a dedication to publishing only the most exquisite photography. From interiors to fashion, portraiture, food and travel, the magazine’s consistently boundary-pushing imagery has coalesced into one of the most immersive lifestyle aesthetics of the last decade.

For The Art of Kinfolk, the magazine’s editorial team has mined a wealth of archival content, leveraging thousands of published photographs to compile one celebratory collection featuring over 300 images. Rather than appearing chronologically, the photographs have been paired according to theme or formal association and printed on different paper stocks, highlighting both the evolution and constancy of Kinfolk’s art direction and drawing new resonances from even the simplest compositions.

Through these images, both familiar and forgotten, the world of Kinfolk is presented in full view for the first time as a beautiful, large-format photography book that captures the full arc of our artistic adventure.
