The festival will celebrate both contemporary photography and the creative, inspirational talents of the people who produce this work.
The New York Photo Festival will be headquartered in DUMBO, an off-the-beaten-track, but easily accessible neighborhood on the Brooklyn waterfront between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
