Uncle Bob’s Photo Zine & Book Market is a fair celebrating regional photography through small publishers and self-published zines and books.

The photo world is one of the largest sectors in both the art book and self-publishing markets. Its wide expressive potential—and its deep impact across culture and commerce—has led to a vibrant range of publishing practices, from hand-crafted zines to carefully designed small press books. By highlighting work produced outside traditional publishing channels, we aim to amplify underrepresented voices and offer new collectors an accessible and meaningful way to support local artists.

Uncle Bob’s gets its name—and its charm—from that well-meaning, overly enthusiastic relative we all know. He’s not the hired photographer, but he’s always got a camera, a question about your lens, and an unsolicited opinion. He’s scrappy, curious, and persistent—just like the artists we aim to uplift.

At its core, Uncle Bob’s champions regional photographers by providing a platform to connect with new audiences, expand their reach, and take up space in ways that honor the craft and culture of photography in the South.
