Photography is celebrated from 9 to 12 October 2026 at the Hôtel de l'Industrie, with the Photo Doc festival. For this new edition, the international fair held in the Latin Quarter invites us to explore our relation to the world, to what surrounds us, and to what we feel through the theme "Gratitude: an alliance with the living". Enjoy this event without moderation—the event is free!
In this new edition, the Photo Doc fair explores the storytelling of photography and the new approaches to documentary photography. The fair gives pride of place to photographers who craft narratives that are more intimate, more personal, not bound by the criterion of "objectivity" and the "neutrality" of information.
Visitors to the show can admire the exhibitions and projects of various artists: each in their own way, they tell us their story, what they have seen, what they have documented. Biographies, wartime and the changing world, memories passed on to younger generations: these photographers are honored through their work and their unique vision.
During these few days at the Hôtel de l'Industrie, visitors can explore for free the works of many documentary photographers, on display for the occasion thanks to the galleries and professionals taking part in this fair.
Without a doubt, Photo Doc is a must for every photography fan. Meanwhile in Paris, several art fairs are taking place—discover all of these events.
