SMUT is a London-based creative direction studio, blurring the lines between art, fashion, and erotica. We specialise in publishing printed matter and curating both physical and digital experiences that challenge and redefine perceptions of sexuality, gender and culture. As a publisher, SMUT produces photobooks that offer new perspectives on sexuality and identity that reappropriate mainstream portrayals. Our debut volume, Transgressions (2022), explores the lives of women in the adult entertainment industry, challenging our dominantly heteronormative visual culture and reimagining the queer gaze. 

Our subsequent volume, Voyeurism (2023), delves into gay fantasies and desires, critically examining the commodification of voyeurism within the gay adult digital landscape through a playful point of view. Since its launch, SMUT has collaborated with prominent figures in the art and fashion world, gained international recognition in major publications, and exhibited in cultural hubs across London, Paris and New York. Our publications have been stocked at Printed Matter (NYC), Friend Editions (NYC), Frieze (NYC), tenderbooks (London), The Photographer’s Gallery (London), Waste! Store (London), Offprint (Paris & London), Tokyo Art Book Fair (Japan), and Village Books (Leeds).
