THE BEST OF THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Photo London’s mission has always been to show the best of the past, present and future of photography and the Fair plays an important role in supporting and investing in emerging artists. The Fair’s renowned Discovery section will once again present works from the frontiers of photography as selected by Discovery Ambassador Tim Clark; while the PHOTO LONDON X NIKON EMERGING PHOTOGRAPHER AWARD will continue to highlight works of outstanding young photographers with a special display dedicated those shortlisted in the previous edition. This year’s winner will be announced on the preview day, Wednesday 10th May 2023.

This year the Fair is delighted to announce a further prize to support students enrolled in photography degrees at UK universities: the Photo London X Hahnemühle Student Award with a valuable residency awarded to each year’s winner. The six experts making up the 2023 jury are: Paul Belford, Founder, Paul Belford Ltd; Tim Clark, Editor/Curator, 1000 Words; Tom Hunter, Photographer; Tracy Marshall-Grant, Deputy Director, Centre for British Photography; Fiona Shields, Head of Photography, The Guardian; and Lisa Springer, Curator of Photography Touring Exhibitions, Victoria and Albert Museum.

The 2023 Talks Programme will be curated by Aperture; while the Photo London Academy offers a year-round and free of charge programme, featuring the Talks Archive, Book Club and a digital Magazine in the spirit of an artist’s photo book, with the current issue on Yasuhrio Ogawa

Looking ahead to the eighth edition, Michael Benson and Fariba Farshad comment: “We are looking forward to next year’s Fair with huge excitement. The 2023 Fair takes the success of this year’s edition and builds impressively from there. The exhibitors’ list is already strong and we are thrilled to be able to add new partnerships with Aperture, Belmond and Hahnemühle to our long term associations with Nikon and FT Weekend. Furthermore our partnership with Creo has extended the Fair’s reach to important galleries and collector groups in East Asia.

These partnerships underline the considerable strength that Photo London has achieved since the difficult years of the pandemic and point to a truly exciting future for the Fair.
