TBW Books is an independent photography publisher founded in Oakland in 2006 by Paul Schiek.

In 2023, TBW Books began its sister company Workshop de Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. 

In 2024, TBW began a partnership with the Miner Anderson Family Foundation, helping us in our effort to further champion the work of underrepresented artists. 

TBW Books acknowledges that it occupies the unceded land of the Lisjan Ohlone people, also known as Oakland.
