Boroughs is an independent publication by The Rising Son Media. We drop into a city. We find the people who make it what it actually is. We shoot it. We write it. We print it.

No tourism. No lifestyle content. No sponsored bullshit. Just the real version of a place, told through the people who built it while nobody was paying attention.

Boroughs isn't made to be read once and recycled. Each volume is built as an object, something you keep on the table, not in a stack of old magazines. Designed to last. Designed to be seen.

Photography-led. Print-first. Built on the ground, not from a desk. Every issue is produced independently. Full creative sovereignty. If you're looking for a safe, agreeable read about charming European cafés, this isn't it.

Vol. 1: New York + Los Angeles. Vol. 2: Paris.
