She says the inaugural edition four years ago saw fashion photography in demand, while gradually, more conceptual and abstract works have been bought, "which is our main direction of creating an art fair dedicated to contemporary photography".

The fair also shows how artists have been expanding the boundary of photography by incorporating other mediums and digital technology.

A Staged section at the upcoming fair will investigate the evolution of photography when being blended with other art forms such as performance arts and videos.

The artists working with both film and photography include Chen Qiulin from China and Pixy Liao, a Shanghai-born artist who now resides in Brooklyn.

Han says internet-based art is also becoming more popular and the fair will present a new work by 33-year-old Chinese artist Lu Yang that was commissioned by Daata Editions, an online platform for purchasing sound, video and web-based artworks.

She says Lu has produced "groundbreaking" multimedia work related to themes such as neuroscience, mortality and religion, and the final work will be available for downloading on Daata Editions' website.
