Brooklyn bridge park will be transformed into a photography village where massive freight containers will be transformed into temporary exhibition spaces scattered throughout the area.
Aside from the exhibitions there will be lectures, workshops, discuissions, night time projections and a summer beer garden with food vans apart from other things that will create a summer time vibe focused on the celebration of photography.
The festival is produced by United Photo Industries and their aim to quote them is;
"to promote and showcase emerging photographers through curated exhibitions around the world. Working in partnership with local galleries and key media partners... producing site-specific exhibitions that explore new thematic directions in photography. Drawing upon an international network of curatorial partners to provide unique exhibition opportunities for emerging photographers and facilitate their entry into foreign art markets.
