The slogan with which this fair defines itself immediately reveals the intention of the organizers. This is an event that promotes the encounter and dialogue as equals between buyer-visitor and photographer-artist. The idea is to create a forum for direct communication, "without intermediaries", where the artist, omnipresent beside his work, has the opportunity to explain their work and the spirit of his creations, and the visitor has the opportunity to see face to face the artist hand, his/her intimate and personal universe. |

The idea began 16 years ago, when the founders of the initiative detected a lack of more open and communicative proposals in the Spanish market. The enhancement of the photo seemed to require not only a recognition by the public, but also to promote discussion and exchange circles to reflect on this technique and contribute to generate a constructive discourse in dialogue with the visitor. And so, in 1998, Luis Baylon, José María Díaz-Maroto, Evaristo Delgado and Pasquale Caprile, at the study of the latter, in Madrid, decided to create EntreFotos. This enthusiastic quartet tried to emulate in our country the photography encounters that were spreading through Europe, and publicize the author photography. Today, after 16 years of uninterrupted call, the show continues to respond to the original idea with which was born. |

This time the winner is José Luis Mur who is also a photographer, was a founder of Fotocasión mid 70s, in the wake of Madrid, establishment landmark dedicated to the world of photography and is now one of the largest devoted to this discipline in Europe shops.
