An international photo festival in Miami

The Miami Photo Salon is being recently founded and it is designed to be a successor of the prestigious European photo festivals Les Rencontres d’Arles, PHotoEspana, and Visa pour l’Image. The Miami Photo Salon salutes the many US photo festivals such as FOTOFEST and the New York Photo Festival that generate an international atmosphere in the cities where they take place, along with professional fellowship and camaraderie, presentations, awards ceremonies, and live events over the busiest photography days in each venue.

About the Miami Photo Salon

Miami, the City and its people, is the theme of the 2014 Miami Photo Salon. 

This festival's goal, the first of the sort ever organized in Miami, is to show a very broad picture of what photographers from around the world are doing when working on a local level, and to give Miami photographers training through workshops, exhibitions, lectures, etc. The festival is free and open to everyone.
