Over sixty of the world's top galleries come to Somerset House for four days in May when Photo London returns to the capital for a third year. The photography showcase is not only a selling fair but also includes special exhibitions, installations and a curated programme of talks and presentations. A one-day workshop given by W.M. Hunt is especially aimed at those who have a keen interest in photography. Brett Rogers, director of The Photographers' Gallery, will be in conversation with photographer Jack Latham, and the Whitechapel Gallery hosts a talk series, Prix Pictet Conversations on Photography, featuring leading contemporary photographers from around the world.
About Somerset House
Somerset House, once the site of a spectacular Tudor palace, now includes a magnificent 18th century art gallery housing celebrated collections belonging to the Courtauld Institute Gallery, as well as the Embankment Galleries (which replaced the Hermitage Rooms and The Gilbert Collection - the latter re-opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum in June 2009).
