Anastasia Samoylova: Photographing the Working Waterfront
Ahead of Paris Photo, join artist and photographer Anastasia Samoylova and Commissioner's Dejha Carrington for a conversation inspired by Samoylova’s new book, Habor.

Ahead of Paris Photo, join artist and photographer Anastasia Samoylova in conversation with Dejha Carrington, co-founder of Commissioner and her longtime collaborator in Miami. Together they will discuss Harbor, Samoylova’s new photographic project spanning seven European port cities. From cruise ships off Marseille to loading docks in Istanbul, the photographs explore how travel and trade shape the waterfront.
The evening also celebrates the launch of the accompanying book, Harbor, published by Allemandi Editore.
Harbor recently opened at Gallerie d’Italia in Turin. A selection will be on view at Paris Photo at the Grand Palais from November 12—15, 2026, presented by Dot Fiftyone Gallery. Samoylova, a Commissioner Season Four artist, is further included in the Elles x Paris Photo programme at the fair, curated by Aldeide Delgado of WOPHA (Women Photographers International Archive).
