News: The London Festival of Photography June 2012

In June 2012, London's most celebrated venues (Museum of London, British Library, British Museum, Tate Modern, the V&A and more...) will play host to a world-class, city-wide celebration of photography as the London Festival of Photography returns for its second year.

Expanding to encompass street, documentary and conceptual photography, the festival will include 18 exhibitions and 40 satellite events including workshops, talks and screenings.

Exhibitions will vary in style and format, presenting a comprehensive mixture of disciplines with work from both established and emerging photographers. Content will be curated around the theme, Inside Out: Reflections on the Public and the Private.

The festival opens to the public on 1 June 2012.

John Clarke said, “I visited last year when it was solely street photography, and there were excellent exhibitions scattered over a wide area. This year it seems to have a wider remit with documentary, which is good, and "conceptual" which is an acquired taste in many cases. However it's certainly worth at least a day trip to grab some of the best shows”.
