This week is your last chance to see the Fitzrovia Photography Prize exhibition at Diemar/Noble Photography. The premise of the competition was that all images entered had to have been taken within a one mile radius of the gallery. Entry was free and open to people of all levels and walks of photography. This meant that the 53 images which were selected by the curator Laura Noble and her assistant curator Eleanor Kelly for the exhibition are an intriguing and inspiring medley of styles and subject matters. The show is a fascinating glimpse into the different ways in which photographers narrate their perception of London.
Julian Wakeling, the winner of the competition took a mesmerising photograph which I am continually blown-away by every time that I see it in the flesh.
I was excited and honoured to have my photograph Tory Scum included, which is a shot that I took in Trafalgar Square last December, just after the Student Demonstrations.
For a further sneak-preview of the work involved as well as an insight into how the exhibition was curated, see Laura Noble's latest blog post. The competition which was sponsored by John Lewis of Oxford Street is set to become an annual event, sign up to the galleries mailing list via their website if you would like to be first in line to receive the Open Call next year!
The exhibition ends this coming Saturday 20th August, the gallery is located on Wells Street (just a 2 minute walk from Oxford Circus tube), it's open from 11am till 6pm Tuesday to Saturday. (Free entry).
