Paris Photo, possibly one of the more important photography art fairs of the year, begins in Paris at the Carrousel du Louvre on November 18th 2009. This year’s focus is on what they claim to be ‘Arab‘ and ‘Iranian‘ photography. As always, I place such classifications in brackets because they, in our modern world of forced and chosen exiles, say little or nothing about the artists and their work.

Lens Culture magazine has an extensive slide show of some of the works featured.
