Pre-orders for Gratuity Included (2nd Edition) are now open / by Chris Suspect

I am now taking pre-orders for the second edition of Gratuity Included. The first edition sold out fast!

Gratuity Included contains 41 black and white photos from 2012 to 2019 spread out over 64 pages. All of these images are quite graphic and they are sequenced in a way that reminds one of a fever dream set in an underground nightscape.

Here are some impressions from the first edition:

“This is an exquisitely designed book. I LOVE the images, sequencing and quality of the printing and the paper. The blacks are so rich, and the paper so smooth and substantial.”

- Meryl Meisler

“My copy of Gratuity Included arrived today. It has a spot in my rare book collection. These are the kind of pictures I wish I could do.”

- Paul Kessel

“The book itself is a gem, the photos a pleasure to explore!”

- Susanne Baumgartner

“This is good stuff made with the starkness of a single flash in black and white. There are car crash scenes and human-crash scenes, and the constant reminder of things coming undone: life pushed past the breaking point just to see where the breaking point is.”

- Dodd Demas

”I got the book! There are some pretty striking images!! I love the last section in particular, very surreal”

- Sofia Sebastian

I will be sharing more spreads and additional info this month. There is also a book release and exhibition tentatively planed for Fri. March 27 in Washington, D.C. However, it is likely this will be pushed back due to COVID-19. We are considering alternative dates now.

In the mean time please support me in my quest to publish 4 books in one year and secure your copy of this limited edition one now.
