The New York Photo Festival was founded in January 2007 by Frank Evers and Daniel Power[1][2][3] in an effort to establish a U.S. photo festival dedicated to the "future of contemporary photography" and to the exposure of new works. It takes place every year in mid-May over a period of four days in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
History
