Something New From Fabrik...
Introducing The International Review of Photography — and a first look for LA Insider readers
Dear Friends,
As a reader of LA Insider, you know we care about connecting you with the art and culture that matters. I’m writing to share something new we’ve been building — and to give you a first look.
Today we’re launching The International Review of Photography, a weekly newsletter covering the global photography art world — exhibitions, fairs, auctions, photobooks, and photographer profiles — in a concise format you can read in 5 minutes. Every Monday morning.
Los Angeles is a city built on the image — the entertainment industry, the studios, the culture of seeing and being seen. It's no accident that some of the most important photography galleries in the country are here — Danziger Gallery, M+B, Peter Fetterman, ROSEGALLERY, Fahey/Klein, Curatorial Advisory — alongside institutions like The Getty and LACMA, whose photography collections rank among the most significant in the world. The city is also home to some of the most serious private photography collectors in the country, many of whom have quietly built world-class holdings.
And the momentum is growing. Fairs like the new SHOW.LA — a dedicated photography fair that launched its inaugural edition last month — are proof that LA’s commitment to photography as a fine art is deepening. If you already follow LA’s art world through LA Insider, The International Review of Photography widens that lens to the global stage.
Why this, why now? The photography world has excellent publications — L’Oeil de la Photographie delivers essential daily coverage, Aperture and Foam publish deeply considered quarterly issues, and the British Journal of Photography has been a vital voice since 1854. But if you want a concise weekly overview of everything happening across the global photography landscape — which shows to see, which books to read, what’s moving at auction, who’s emerging — there hasn’t been a single place to get all of that in one sitting. Until now.
Here’s some of what you can expect from our first issue:
Why 2026 may be the biggest year in the history of photography — and the posthumous Martin Parr retrospective at the heart of it
Exhibitions worth traveling for, from Paris to Houston
MIA Photo Fair opens this week in Milan
Essential new photobooks from Aperture, Steidl, and more
To give you a taste, we’re including the full first issue below. If it’s something you’d like to receive every Monday, subscribe here — it’s free…
If photography isn’t your thing, no action needed — you’ll continue receiving LA Insider as usual. Nothing changes with your current subscription.
The International Review of Photography joins LA Insider and The Intentional Artist in the Fabrik Media family. We’ve been connecting audiences with art and culture since 2008 — first in print with Fabrik Magazine, and now through curated digital newsletters. This is the next chapter.
Thank you for reading, and for being part of this community.
See you Thursday morning for the next edition of LA Insider.
