Visitors to France’s Leading Imaging Trade Show Will be Able to See Iconic Images From History

Opening on October 9^th 2025, Salon de la Photo is the leading photography trade show in France. Allowing photographers, videographers and content creators the chance to get hands on with the latest kit and face to face with experts in the industry. For this year, Innova Art has partnered with the American Photography Archives Group (APAG) to showcase a curated selection of work from their members. Comprised of images from the 20^th Century, the display on the Innova stand (C063) will feature work from 14 photographic archives.

Visitors are invited to explore American life through a series of iconic images, depicting a collection everyday Americana and images recognised around the world. Each printed on a matched surface from the Innova range of archival inkjet media. “APAG are proud to show the immense talent and diversity of our membership,” says Mary Engel, Executive Director and Founder of APAG. “We are happy to be part of this association with Innova and hope everyone enjoys learning more about the importance of archival preservation.”

Joshua Greene is a printer who made the transition from traditional to inkjet printmaking. A longtime member of the APAG with many years experience managing the archives of his father, Milton H. Greene, he curated the selection of images for display in Paris. Working with Mary to reach out to APAG members. Carefully considering image criteria such as the quality of the scan from original negatives as well as the historical context. The image files were then optimised for printing, ready for display at Salon de la Photo 2025. Resulting in a collection that captures unforgettable moments in time from America.

The range of surfaces available from Innova spans from resin coated photo paper to fibre based baryta style and fine art papers through to archival quality canvases. All coated for use with inkjet printers. Visitors to Salon de la Photo will be able to meet with the Innova team who will be happy to help photographers find the ideal print surface to match their creative vision.
