The exhibition space is presented between La Croisette, the Gardens of the Rose Garden, the Miramar area and the Palm Beach Casino. Four cardinal places that transform the city of Cannes into a true open-air art gallery, offering the photography high visibility and a wider audience. There were one million visitors last year to view the indoor and outdoor festival featuring large format prints of over one hundred and fifty works of influential fashion photographers. The 2014 jury of the International festival of Fashion Photography gave out three awards at the official exhibit inauguration on June 27th according to creativity, imagination and daring of the artists’ work. The Untitled Magazine‘s editor-in-chief, Indira Cesarine, attended the opening ceremonies in Cannes, and said of the exhibition, “it was inspiring to see Cannes transformed by the stunning imagery. The exhibition was beautifully presented alongside the main promenade of the picturesque city and had an impressive impact on viewers.  The curation was also very thought through, with quite a wide selection of works, each unique in their own way.  It was also great to be introduced to the work of many photographers from around the world that I was less familiar with.”
