Polycopies is held on a boat called the Concorde Atlantique, moored near the Musée d’Orsay on the Left Bank at Port de Solferino, and is open from 07-10 November. Polycopies will include book signings and events every night, with many of the photographers taking part familiar to regular bjp-online readers – including Jono Rotman, Sebastián Bruno, Giulia Mangione, David Molina Gadea, Guy Martin, Eamonn Doyle, Kazuma Obara, Max Pinckers, Chris Killip, Simone Sapienza, and Martin Toft. “We see publishers and books as an important contribution to photography today, to the point that the publishers have an equally important role as gallerists in discovering and promoting new work, and rediscovering forgotten work.”

“We’re happy to have an Asian and Latin-American spotlight, plus newcomers from France, Nordic countries and the UK,” Hau tells BJP. Organised by Sebastian Hau, former director of Le Bal Books, and Laurent Chardon, photographer, Polycopies is now in its fifth year and has attracted some of the most interesting photobook publishers in the business – including Akina Books, GOST, Ediciones Anomalas, Chose Commune but also many more from further afield. For those interested in photobooks there are two essential book fairs – Offprint and Polycopies, both showcasing some of the most interesting new work in photography and beyond there is also a week-long photo focus at the world-famous Left Bank bookshop Shakespeare & Co. Paris Photo is epic, but beyond the Grand Palais there’s a plethora of other photo-related events in the French capital.
