About.

1905 Contemporary is a gallery dedicated exclusively to the art of photography, representing both renowned and emerging artists. With a strong commitment to showcasing exceptional photographic works, the gallery celebrates photography not only as a medium, but as a universal language of visual storytelling.

Each piece is carefully selected to not only represent the evolution of photography, but also to highlight the unique narrative and powerful visual storytelling that defines contemporary photography.

As a resource for both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts, 1905 Contemporary offers a sophisticated yet accessible environment to explore and invest in photographic works that stand as timeless pieces of art. The gallery values the integrity of each photograph, offering collectors works created with meticulous care using both traditional film and modern digital techniques.
