Photolux Festival is the International Biennial of Photography of Lucca.

Light, the essence of photography, is the symbol of this project. In this important historical moment images constantly pervade our daily life and, Photolux, like an ancient darkroom, aims to reflect a clear and defined selection of the international photographic panorama. In a perspective of energy and discovery, Photolux Festival represents a precious occasion of encounter, a crossroads of great masters, of photo experts and enthusiasts, giving the chance to observe new talents and the most avant-garde languages.

Also if the festival has been organised only since a few years, it has already become one of the most interesting in Europe thanks to the quality of the exhibitions, the authors and the organizational efficiency of the staff. The presence of experts and journalists, including international guests, and the consensus of critics, the audience and press confirm that Lucca can be considered as a reference point for photography in Italy and Europe.
