Photography Exhibitions to visit in London 2018 – Article by Ben Hoppen
The summer is almost over everyone, and the weather is definitely a shadow of what it once was – there’s a pun in there. It’s time to replace long strolls in the park with loved ones and picnics with friends with one of the many photography exhibitions in London town. It’s time to feel inspired by the photographic art that London has to offer.
Here’s our list of exhibitions worth going to, along with some blurb on why I think they are worth a look.

Martin Parr

The Last Resort – printed 2002 Martin Parr: Magnum Photos | Photography Exhibitions
Why visit: For any budding photographers reading this I recommend looking at Martin Parr for inspiration. Martin Parr is a British documentary photographer who is known for capturing interesting modern photographs. The exhibition hosts many of Parr’s photobooks and photos dating from 1983 to 2007. Have a search of Martin Parr, and if you are interested in his work, I would recommend going to find out more about him at the exhibition at the Tate Modern.
