Ephemere is an independent photography platform based in Tokyo, Japan. Anne Murayama founded it in 2023. The name comes from the French word éphémère, meaning short-lived. Ephemere works through three pillars: publications, exhibitions and dialogues. It publishes photobooks, including an annual Photo Journal and group publications. It also runs the Photobook Grant and the annual Ephemere Photo Fest, held in Tokyo. Through open calls, workshops and artist talks, it connects photographers from different countries. Its small team works from Tokyo, Bombay, Manila, Singapore and Porto.
