About this expo

PARIS PHOTO stands as the premier international art fair exclusively dedicated to the photographic medium and image-based art. Held annually in November at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, its core mission is to foster and advance photographic creation, supporting the galleries, publishers, and artists who are central to this field. The upcoming 29th edition is scheduled from November 12 to 15, 2026, with an exclusive vernissage on November 11, 2026.

The fair is meticulously organized into five distinct sectors: Main, Prismes, Voices, Digital, Emergence, and Book. These sectors showcase a diverse range of photographic works, from leading international galleries in the Main sector to large-scale installations in Prismes, and new perspectives in the curatorial space of Voices. The Digital sector explores the intersection of technology and image, including AI, while Emergence highlights new creative talents. The Book sector features specialized publishers and art book dealers, offering unique editions and signature sessions.

PARIS PHOTO attracts a broad and influential audience, including collectors, curators, photographers, publishers, museum representatives, scholars, and photography enthusiasts, alongside other art professionals. Complementing the exhibition, the event hosts several concurrent programs such as the Paris Photo–Aperture PhotoBook Awards (since 2012), the Elles × Paris Photo program (since 2018), and the BMW ART MAKERS program, enriching the experience for all attendees.
