Introducing next edition of the The Collections, the limited edition publication compiling the best articles and photography of the last year.

The new issue, The Collections Vol. IV, launches today (17 November) and is in stores from 24 November. This year's collectable annual showcases behind-the-scenes insights from some of Crack Magainze's best features and imagery from 2022. This includes landmark covers such as Top Boy, Mistki, Carly Rae Jepsen and Hessle Audio as well as shoots with artists such as Lous and the Yakuza, Gaidaa and Girlpool.

The Collections was started up in 2020, during the pandemic, as a way to publish their best features at a time when the monthly magazine couldn't be printed. Since then, Crack Magazine have continued to use the publication as a space to celebrate and spotlight the work shared in the months prior. The fourth edition focuses on the creatives and shoots that make up the monthly magazine, in addition to some unpublished imagery, honing in on the global network of photographers.

Behind-the-scenes features in The Collections Vol. IV include an interview with ONDA - the photographer behind the May issue cover with Digga D - as well as interviews with artist Ethel Cain about self-shooting, and photographer Stephen Tayo about the Naira Marley cover shoot, Lagos and its creative scene, respectively. There's also a profile with Lynn Hayleigh (O-Ke) who photographed Touching Bass and a chat with duo Boy Harsher about filmography.
