The fair itself is a trade show of some of the finest photography dealers in the world that the public is invited to.

You will get a amazing overall sense of where things are in the photography market, both creatively and collecting wise.

The seminars are always great and are not to be missed.

Get a few pass days ,if you have the time, and wander through the event checking out all of the images. Masters and current artists are all represented here.

As a collector, someone starting to collect or just a lover of fine photography this is your event.

We would be surprised if you weren’t tempted to purchase a print or two. A least a few books for your collection.

Take a look on our MEDIA page to hear from Stephen Cohen, the organizer of the event. The video is from Photo LA but he’ll give you a good overview of the series.

We have found the collecting seminars especially good as you tour the exhibit before it opens and an expert in the field gives you a solid overview of the work.

And this year there is a seminar on publishing the photographic book.We’ll bet a few of you would like to check that out.
