PadPlaces is an editorial imprint founded and directed by Andrea Pistolesi, dedicated to the development and publication of documentary photography books and long-term visual research projects.
Created in 2010, PadPlaces originated as an early experiment in digital publishing for photography. Over time, it has evolved into a curated editorial structure supporting author-driven projects rooted in extended fieldwork, geographical research, and cultural inquiry.
Publications released under the PadPlaces imprint focus on themes such as landscape, belief systems, cultural identity, and the relationship between human communities and their environments. Books are conceived not as isolated products, but as reference outcomes within broader documentary and artistic projects that may also include exhibitions, fine-art print series, and institutional collaborations.
PadPlaces functions as a publishing and editorial framework, ensuring coherence, continuity, and long-term vision across projects developed by Andrea Pistolesi.
