""We hope to connect with people who are curious about contemporary photography in book form - a format that's often more approachable and affordable than collecting through traditional galleries," they write via email.

""I want to get my message about climate change out there to more people," she tells KQED via phone. "My books tend to focus on what's going to happen on the coast of California [with] sea rise. What will be lost. It's also an opportunity to network and see other artists that I know.""
The San Francisco Photobook Fair will take place Oct. 18–19, 2025 at the Harvey Milk Photo Center with free admission. Aperture, independent publishers, photographers, curators, designers, collectors, and artists will participate to promote photobooks as an approachable collecting format. The fair was co-founded by Melissa Castro Keesor, Katherine Akey, and Luis Cobelo. Environmental photographer Jane Ivory focuses on coastal sea-rise impacts, and her books Inundation/A Lament, Duress, and Urban Anomalies will be offered. Deep Time Press founders Leah Koransky and Justin James King seek to introduce their artists to new audiences and strengthen community connections.
