Photography in all its many aspects

Thanks to the Salon de la Photo and the Photoquai exhibition arranged by the Quai Branly Museum, photographers and photography enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting November so that they can indulge their passion. Check out these two events during your stay at the Cler Hotel.

The leading event for photography

Photography can be a profession, a hobby or a form of artistic expression. In Paris it’s a medium that is encouraged to find its full expression, thanks to various trade fairs and exhibitions celebrating its unique qualities. A great example of this is the Salon de la Photo, a huge and remarkable trade fair which takes place each year at the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre. Highlighting all aspects of photography and the photographic arts, it is the largest event of its kind in Europe. From November 10th to 14th it represents an opportunity for professionals in the world of the image, and amateur enthusiasts, to discover the latest developments and technological advancements in their field of interest. The most iconic international brands are represented and a wealth of stalls and exhibitors will be present.

For this 10th edition of the Salon de la Photo, some 75,000 attendees are expected at Paris Expo to indulge their passion. Hot technology, hands-on workshops, demonstrations, exhibitions, conferences and the chance to meet with professionals and get some expert advice are just some of the attractions of this fair. Another highlight will be a panel featuring 10 renowned photographers sponsored by 9 magazines, who will choose the press photo of the year.

Photography in world cultures

Back this year for its 20th edition, the exhibition Paris Photo at Grand Palais settles once again under the nave. It is entirely dedicated to the exploration of photographic art from all over the world. It presents an exhibition of photographic art arising from many different cultures and makes you discover all the techniques of photography. This exhibition, taking place from November 10th to 13th, is a major event that should not be missed by anyone with an interest in diverse visual creativity.
