Festival exhibitors:

This year, there were twelve festival exhibitors. The exhibitors were chosen among active photographers on the social photo sharing service Instagram. They show some of the diversity out there, from the minimalistic aestethic to the flourishing colourful, from visual experiments to personal diary notes.
