The New York Photo Festival was founded in January 2007 by Frank Evers and Daniel Power[1] [2] [3] in an effort to establish a U.S. photo festival dedicated to the "future of contemporary photography" and to the exposure of new works. It takes place every year in mid-May over a period of four days in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
The inaugural event took place on May 14–18, 2008 and was attended by 15,000 people. It was curated by Martin Parr, Lesley A. Martin, Tim Barber and Kathy Ryan.[1] [4]
