Program highlights
Confirmed features include the Prix Étudiants Paris Photo 2026 which has shortlisted 20 projects from European photography schools.

B2B prospecting approach
Prepare B2B outreach for Paris Photo 2026 by focusing on three elements. First, present a concise catalogue with prices, edition sizes and sales conditions for works and books. Second, use the exhibitor list to target galleries and publishers aligned with your market segment. Third, schedule meetings in advance and frame your proposals with institutional references such as the Centre Pompidou collection.
In discussions with collectors and institutional buyers bring physical evidence of edition and condition and prepare a brief provenance summary. For publishers prioritize sample copies and clear proposals on print runs and distribution channels.
What to watch and final note
Pay attention to the 20 shortlisted projects in the Prix Étudiants and the Révéler display from the Centre Pompidou as indicators of the fair’s curatorial direction.
