The Stones published their work extensively in the new newspapers and illustrated magazines of the time. Their first photographs to appear in the press came in September 1925 in Uhu , a magazine published by the German publisher Ullstein. They subsequently appeared in many of Ullstein's magazines, including Die Dame, Der Querschnitt, Tempo , and especially the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung . From January 1928 onward, they published increasingly in Frankfurt, particularly in Illustriere Blatt . Upon their arrival in Brussels, the Stones' photographs had already appeared in many Belgian magazines and newspapers: Variétés, l'Art Vivant, Mon ménage, Les Beaux-Arts, Bulletin de la Vie artistique, Document 34, Bâtir, La Famille Prévoyante, Voor Allen, Vooruit , and ABC . They also occasionally appeared in the French weekly Vu . Cami and Sasha Stone's photos cover a wide range of topics and appear in various publications. It appears they work on commission or send their photos directly to editors. Many of these photos are published multiple times.

Thanks to these numerous publications, Cami and Sasha Stone not only became some of the most widely regarded photographers of the time, but also important 'disseminators' of the aesthetics of the New Photography.
