Our Mission
Photo Trouvée:/Truve/ Found Photo
Photo Trouvée Magazine is a contemporary art platform with a focus on vintage found photographs and nostalgia. Our publication and opportunities aim to showcase artists from around the world who work with or are inspired by found or family photos. Founded in 2020 by Twiggy Boyer and Juliana Naufel, Photo Trouvée Magazine was created out of a need for a place in the artworld specifically dedicated to found photo artists. Since then, Photo Trouvée Magazine has become much more than just a magazine; our platform has hosted exhibitions, virtual artist residencies, collaborated with other platforms and most importantly, created an international community where artists and collectors can make meaningful connections around their love and passion for found photographs.
