PHOTOBOOK AWARDS

Initiated in November 2012 by Aperture and Paris Photo, The PhotoBook Awards celebrate the photobook’s contribution to the evolving narrative of Photography.

The thirty-five shortlisted titles will be exhibited at Paris Photo and in an expanded online presentation at aperture.com as well as profiled in a catalog (published by Aperture), to be released at the Fair.

The winners will be announced at Paris Photo on November 11th at 3pm.
