We're delighted that great photography is taking centre stage again as Photo London returns to present its sixth edition at Somerset House this September.
With over 100 exhibitors from 14 countries, Photo London showcases the best of photography, from iconic works to emerging talent. Running alongside the Fair, the Public Programme offers special exhibitions, photography workshops, awards, portfolio reviews led by the British Journal of Photography and guided tours.
“Photo London will be the first physical photography fair anywhere in the world for at least 18 months. We are unspeakably proud to be able to present our sixth edition at Somerset House, presenting an outstanding group of exhibitors who bring with them a truly exceptional and diverse group of artists.”
