Anne-Marie (Steidl), 2026

Jeremiah Dine’s Anne-Marie is a visual document of Dine’s relationship with his wife over 40 years. It explores their shared passion for one another, for the world around them, and their distinct visions as fellow artists. What happens to two people who shape their life together over the course of four decades? How does one’s view of a loved one change and deepen over so long a time? “The images in Anne-Marie involve not just one camera, one face and body, one pair of eyes,” writes Francine Prose in her introduction, “but two consciousness merged to make something that didn’t exist before, and that only existed at that one moment in time.” Created using a combination of 35mm and 120mm film, black-and-white and color, digital, Polaroid, iPhone, disposable camera, manipulated and traditional techniques, this book is a kaleidoscopic, compelling statement on how photographing someone is a means to understand yourself. It is both a portrait and a self-portrait of the duality of a long-term relationship.

Now is Tomorrow, Vols 1-3 (Understory), 2022

Now Is Tomorrow started as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stuck in lockdown, Jeremiah Dine began posting daily selections of the tens of thousands of photos in his archive, taken over the previous decade. As the months progressed, Dine refined his approach, using the parameters of the current calendar day as a construct. Eventually, uncanny narrative themes emerged from the random nature of this process. Shot on digital and film cameras, as well as his phone, the images reflect Dine’s ongoing obsession with the “trash stratum,” as well as his daily observations of the mundane and beautiful, themes Dine has been exploring since his teens. Each volume contains a week’s worth of images – 10 images per day – organized in chronological order. At turns hilarious, playful and poignant, Now is Tomorrow shares Dine’s pure engagement with photography: a daily practice that has evolved over a lifetime.

Daydreams Walking (Damiani), 2020

This volume is comprised of 196 photographs shot on the streets of New York City between 2010 and 2017. Dine's exploration of the daily ebb and flow of humanity follows in the tradition of 20th-century street photography as practiced by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank and Garry Winogrand, among others.The city illuminated is his subject, with the people, objects and streets the supporting cast. Dine has photographed on the streets of New York since he was a teenager, first in black and white with 35mm cameras, then in the 2000s in color with digital cameras. The book's title is derived from the Frank O'Hara poem "Music," which is included here, as well as a playlist of songs that Dine listened to while walking and shooting. Robert Sullivan, author of Rats, The Meadowlands and My American Revolution, contributes an essay. The book was designed and edited by Yolanda Cuomo.

Natural Selection (Edition Hansjorg Mayer), 1983

"Twenty-six-year-old Jeremiah Dine took his 35 mm camera into the galleries of New York's American Museum of Natural History and came away with Natural Selection (Hansjorg Meyer, Stuttgart), a book of terrifyingly beautiful photographs. With skewed croppings and an extremely shallow depth of field, Dine delivers black-and-white images of skeletal baboons, lowering eagles, and snarling marsupials in postures from a child's favorite nightmare. The above photo shows the artist's reinvention of a museum ornothological showcase." — Donovan Webster, House and Garden, February 1985
