Collectors’ Favorites: Stories on why we collect photographs – LENSCRATCH
Years ago, when I was just starting my photo journey, I was invited to an Aperture Collectors’ Brunch. I was excited to meet collectors, naively thinking this might be a good thing for my career as a photographer. As it turned out, it was indeed a good thing, as I learned a lot that day.

The Photographic Arts Council · Los Angeles shared a terrific exhibition at the Rose Gallery in Santa Monica, Collectors’ Favorites, featuring photographs from collector’s own walls, with accompanying essays on what compelled them to purchase those images. This insightful exhibition has had a tremendous response from the community giving the audience a glimpse into not only what we collect, but what draws us to the work in the first place.
