The Future of Contemporary Photography at the New York Photo Festival
New York City’s first large-scale event dedicated solely to the art of photography, the New York Photo Festival (NYPF), is kicking off this week.
Featuring contemporary photography with curated pavilions, satellite shows, and the New York Photo Awards, the festival promises a full schedule of events. The NYPF festival seeks to celebrate contemporary photography in all its forms, document the future of photography, as well as celebrate the people who produce the work.

That promo clips doesn’t make me want to see the exhibit, but the theme sure does. Is the fest limited to images witha NYC theme? I think I may be heading to the Big Apple for this one.

Yeah, the promo looks like somebody just wanted to have fun on their Mac!
The festival, however, is not just about photography in New York City, it is about contemporary photography. The location, DUMBO in Brooklyn, was really known as a mecca of contemporary arts. Unfortunately, gentrification has set in but the festival is still hosted at some of the various galleries in the area.
