This November there is an abundance of photography to be discovered throughout Paris.

Mois de la Photo OFF is a fringe festival organized in parallel to the official Paris Mois de la Photo festival, held in November every two years.

The goal of the OFF festival is to offer a dynamic selection of emerging photographers exhibited in new galleries and unexpected spaces, like train stations, bars, restaurants, bookstores and barber shops.

Lens Culture has chosen 90 photos as a preview of this city-wide celebration of photography.

While not officially part of the OFF festival, Lens Culture has arranged for its own Meet the Artist night on Tuesday 13 November, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Spéos, 8, rue Jules Vallès, 75011 Paris (Metro: Charonne). Collectors and photography lovers who are eager to discover and meet 100+ emerging and established international photographers from Lens Culture FotoFest Paris are invited to this free two-hour event.
