LONDON.- London’s international contemporary photography fair: a new management, a new concept, a new venue. photo-london and Paris Photo join forces. On November 2006, photo-london was taken over by Reed Exhibitions, owner and organizer of Paris Photo, now the most important photography fair in the world. photo-london is held in the Spring, and Paris Photo in the autumn. The Paris Photo team will be managing photo-london with Daniel Newburg, photo-london’s founder, in the role of creative director.
