Pinta BAphoto celebra sus 20 años de trayectoria y es actualmente la feria de arte especializada en fotografía más relevante de Latinoamérica. Con sede en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, la feria ha sabido consolidarse como un punto de referencia indiscutido para la fotografía, propiciando un lugar de encuentro entre artistas, curadores, críticos especializados, coleccionistas y un público cada vez más amplio. Desde su surgimiento en el año 2005, Pinta BAphoto trabaja en promover el desarrollo de la fotografía dentro del campo artístico y poner en valor su producción a nivel internacional.
The Artist Tribute Section celebrates the legacy of an influential artist whose work is permeated by photographic practice, offering a retrospective that includes everything from their most iconic productions to the exhibition of unpublished works and archival material. Thus, Artist Tribute provides a different perspective and a deep dialogue about the work of the chosen artist and their impact on modern and contemporary art.
Pinta BAphoto showcases a wide variety of galleries known for the quality of their proposals, featuring modern and contemporary artists from different countries whose artistic practices are influenced by the language of photography.
Out of Focus is a sector dedicated to exploring the various procedures, languages, and materialities enabled by the photographic medium. Its curatorial proposal deepens the purpose of giving visibility to the photography of emerging artists and galleries from across the country, and serving as a platform where heterogeneity allows for presenting the universe of possibilities of this medium. Photography as an experimental record of the world, as an exploration of the relationships between memory and archive, or as intense modulation between intimate gaze and social reality, finds a flexible and receptive space to open up to a renewed audience.
Video Project is the section of Pinta BAphoto exclusively dedicated to showcase moving images. In its latest edition, the proposal aimed to present videos that problematize the relationship of the body with the environment and the notion that in each act of looking there is an expectation of meaning, where what matters is not just to see, but how we process and relate things.

Since 2015, Wunderkammer has been the fair sector dedicated to heritage photography. Its goal is to highlight the work of various agents specialized in recovering and valuing historical and documentary photographic material.

In the last edition, a solo project by Argentine photographer Adriana Lestido, a key figure in Latin American photography, was presented. The exhibition focused on the mother-daughter axis and included the iconic work "Mother and Daughter of Plaza de Mayo" taken by Lestido in 1985.
In the previous edition, artist Andrés Ramírez Gavira exhibited his project "Sources"; a work where photography is involved in various research strategies including sound and mathematics.
BAphoto presents LiveTalk, a series of conversations reflecting with local and international artists, curators, collectors, gallery owners, and museum directors, dedicated to collaboratively investigating different aspects of photography and contemporary art.
The Pinta Photo 2023 curatorial team is composed of Irene Gelfman, Bárbara Golubicki and Francisco Medail.
This program proposes an approach to the fair through guided tours. Each visit will explore a selection of works under the photographers' perspective, who will present the traditional and contemporary uses of photography from different approaches.
To this end, a special selection of works will be prioritized to delve into various topics such as: artistic genres in photography, its technical qualities, new materials and media that are part of contemporary photography and the appreciation of the value of those images linked to traditional discourses, but seen from a current approach.
