Nazraeli publishes traditional monographs with print runs up to 3000 copies,[2] and also produces these book series: In conjunction with Joy of Giving Something (JGS), Nazraeli distributed the seven issues of JGS' journal, Witness, between 2007 and 2009.
For each issue a different photographer guest edited – choosing their own work and that of others for inclusion, and designing the cover and much of the contents.
