Paris Photo—the largest international photography fair returns to the Grand Palais Éphémère today, November 10, lasting through Sunday, November 13, 2022.

Showcasing the work of new and established artists, publishers, and gallery owners from around the world, the fair will promote a comprehensive overview of global photographic culture through the exhibition of works that rely on the medium in both classical and innovative techniques and styles.

The full program at Paris Photo 2022 will include a variety of group and solo shows from some of the world’s most admired and forward-thinking photographers. For instance, among the exhibiting solo artists, Rosalind Fox Solomon, will be exhibiting some of her earliest work from the 1970’s. Widely known at the time as the scene of the Scottsboro Boys judicial injustice case, Solomon traveled to the town from her then-home in Chattanooga, Tennessee to photograph the dolls, Southern ephemera and neo-Nazi paraphernalia being sold at the flea market as well as the diverse and characteristically Southern citizens of the Alabama city.

Among the group shows that will be on view, Elles x Paris Photo will present The Path, a show curated by Federica Chiocchetti that promotes the role and visibility of women in photography through the exhibition of works from seventy-seven female-identifying photographers. Magnum Photos will also be exhibiting work from Martin Parr and Henri Cartier-Bresson, among others.

The Platform, a four day event space, will host conversations and performances regarding the vanguard of photography and artistic culture and practices. From lectures to Q&A’s with photographers, visitors will have a variety of events to choose from whether they hope for entertainment or enlightenment in regards to the photographic medium.

Tickets to Paris Photo can be procured through the photo fair’s website. For those unable to attend Paris Photo in person, an online viewing room will be available for their consideration and will provide art and photography lovers with the opportunity to discover emerging artists, acquire books and prints, and attend events from the comfort of their homes.
