Your gateway to the finest photography from across the globe.

Photography collector, curator, practitioner or enthusiast, Photo London returns for its next chapter at Olympia, bringing together the world’s leading photographers, eminent galleries and bold new voices under one roof. Across the fair, a strong international list of Galleries presents historic and contemporary photography, from Alys Tomlinson, Daidō Moriyama and Sakiko Nomura to Sayuri Ichida and Ahmed Ali, with new exhibitors from India and Africa.

As the UK’s largest photography event, the fair offers an unmatched chance to encounter museum-quality vintage prints, rare editions and cutting-edge contemporary work at the highest level. With exhibitors travelling from every continent, the breadth of photography on view spans the classic to the experimental, the historic to the visionary. New for 2026, Source, curated by photography specialist Tristan Lundl, brings a focused programme of solo presentations, spotlighting artists of significant cultural value, including rare and rediscovered bodies of work from leading international galleries.

This fair's Public Programme sets the tone for discovery and dialogue, with thought-provoking exhibitions, special installations and the renowned Master of Photography Award at its centre. This year features a rare exhibition from Steven Meisel, showcasing images from his first professional assignment in London, capturing the energy of the city’s fashion scene and its defining creative figures. Alongside this, Discovery returns as Photo London’s platform for emerging galleries and artists, curated by Charlotte Jansen, offering fresh perspectives and rediscovered archives from a new generation of image-makers.

Whether building a collection or experiencing photography in a new light, Photo London remains the essential destination for all who believe in the enduring power of the photographic image.
