A Sister Event with a Global Reach
Photofairs New York is the sibling of Photofairs Shanghai, East Asia’s largest commercial photography event. It is organized by Creo and Angus Montgomery, the team behind Photofairs Shanghai. This new fair strives to promote excellence and innovation in the American art scene, building on their experience in organizing leading art events in Asia, including the India Art Fair in Delhi and Art Central Hong Kong.
Expanding into the American Market
Creo’s previous venture into the American market, with Photofairs San Francisco in 2017, ended after two editions. However, they believe the timing is now ideal, with strong market demand. The thriving photography sector, especially in digital-based work, is attracting younger collectors. Photofairs New York aims to capitalize on this by offering a global event that encompasses digital art, new media and traditional photography, which represents a significant growth opportunity.
Unique Programming and Curation
Photofairs New York is distinguished by its curatorial depth, offering a comprehensive view of the contemporary market. With 80-100 exhibitors, it presents a diverse range of photographic and digital work, complemented by curated exhibitions, artist talks, panel discussions, and interactive installations. This platform fosters engagement with the latest trends and developments in the field for artists, collectors, and enthusiasts.
The Future of Photography and Technology
Photofairs New York arrives at a pivotal moment where photography and technology converge. It explores this intersection and highlights the exciting possibilities. The fair features a diverse range of photographic and digital-based work, including virtual reality, augmented reality and AI-driven art.

A Global Network of VIPs
Photofairs New York leverages Angus Montgomery’s extensive VIP network, which includes a strong list of Asia-Pacific buyers. While the fair aims to be its own event, it is expected that there will be a significant presence of Asian galleries and collectors, contributing to the fair’s global appeal. The fair will also attract high-profile artists and galleries from around the world, creating a dynamic and diverse showcase of contemporary photography and digital art.
