Nick Meyer Launches Nowhere Books with Photobook 'Good Bones'

publication · 2026-07-08

In 2026, Nick Meyer established a new publishing imprint named Nowhere Books, debuting with the photobook 'Good Bones.' This work is rooted in Meyer's experiences of raising a young family amid various crises, such as illness and anxiety, while grappling with uncertainties about the future. It oscillates between care and concern, illustrating the ways individuals support each other in the face of uncontrollable circumstances. Meyer references Gary Winogrand's mid-career insecurities, specifically his 1964 Guggenheim application. The book serves as both a self-portrait and a commentary on contemporary life, capturing the chaos of relentless news cycles and pervasive ennui. Based in Western Massachusetts, Meyer is a photographer, artist, educator, and publisher, honored with the Pace Gallery Award and the Barclay Simpson Prize. His previous work, 'The Local' (MACK, 2021), is part of MoMA's permanent collection, and his photography has been featured in TIME, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Guardian.
