Announcement for Malakhai’s forthcoming photo zine XYZ. This is a special NYC release in partnership with Grand Street Pizza and Converse.
XYZ is a collection of photographs made between 2024 and 2026 while traveling across the country on assignment and in the in-between moments of everyday life. The zine brings together personal photographs alongside images that emerged from commercial projects, outtakes, quiet observations, and frames that existed outside the scope of a client's final deliverables. Included are photographs made while working with USAL Project and Public Records in Brooklyn, as well as a single 8 mm frame captured by Darwin Pemberthy on the set of a commercial production in Boston in 2024.
Across 50 pages, XYZ explores the relationship between my personal practice and my work as a commercial photographer. Rather than treating those worlds as separate, the zine reflects how each continually shapes the other.
