What started as a tabletop affair has grown into one of the longest-running photography fairs in the country. 

“Over the years it’s become more and more a national and international show,” said Claudia James Bartlett, director of Photo L.A. “It still focuses on the photography world in L.A., but it’s a great gateway for people. We’ve tried to craft it so you can see the breadth of photography, from the 19th century to cutting-edge works today.”

The event, a sort of #ArtHybrid featured over 65 exhibitors from around the world, from galleries to museums to schools to photography supply vendors, as well as a pair of curated installations.

Chosen works are paired with collectors’ explanations as to why they bought the pieces and what makes them significant.

Photo L.A. is a deep dive into what drives the photography market today, but at its core it it can be the catalyst for people to stumble upon unexpected artand be delighted to view and take home a piece or two.
