Stephen's ongoing project on the festival of PURIM was included as part of the Hoxton Mini Press anthology in 2017. In 2018 a first solo book, , was published by Unbound and Penguin. Lensculture described the book as, "funny, deep, at times disturbing, at other times profoundly hopeful. But every image gets remade in ways that hod a bit of genius." Sparks is a unique book that combines 80 images, each one of which is accompanied by a short story written in response to the image. Sparks is now completely sold out; a sequel Mostly False Reports was published at the end of 2023.

Stephen was also include in the recently published Thames and Hudson, 2023 anthology, , edited by Matt Stuart and Stephen McLaren described as, "A world tour of the very best street photography today".

A couple of years ago, David Solomons' imprint published three zines, Where Did You Get That Hat? The Schleppers and People Holding Dogs. Recently Stephen's published four more on his own, Hereabouts, That London, Dogs in Cars, Waiting or Being Held, and Elbows.
