In November 2026, Paris Photo returns to the Grand Palais for another edition of the world's most important international photography fair. For several days, leading galleries, internationally acclaimed photographers and collectors gather beneath the Grand Palais's spectacular glass roof to celebrate photography in all its forms — from historic masterworks to the boldest contemporary creations. A landmark cultural event of the Parisian autumn, open to enthusiasts and professionals alike.
The Global Reference Point for Photography
Founded in 1994, Paris Photo has established itself as the world's leading fair dedicated to the photographic medium. Each year, hundreds of galleries and publishers from dozens of countries come together to present works spanning more than 150 years of photographic history.
The event brings the entire photography ecosystem under one roof — specialist galleries, publishing houses, private collectors, museums and cultural institutions. This extraordinary concentration of talent and expertise makes Paris Photo an essential destination for anyone who considers photography a major art form.
The Grand Palais provides an exceptional setting for the fair. The historic architecture of the monument creates a fascinating dialogue with the contemporary works on display, establishing an atmosphere perfectly suited to discovery and reflection.
Exhibitions, Installations and Photographic Encounters
Paris Photo offers far more than a commercial art fair. Visitors discover thematic exhibitions, immersive artistic installations and previously unseen portfolios presented by photographers from around the world.
Dedicated sections highlight emerging talents, giving new voices in international photography a platform alongside established masters. A rich programme of talks, portfolio reviews and artist encounters provides direct access to photographers, curators and industry professionals.
Each edition also unveils rare or previously unseen works from private collections and historical archives, ensuring that even regular visitors discover something new.
