The London Photographic Fair 2016

The London Photographic Fair 2016 at the Old Truman Brewery in East London brought together photographers, galleries, collectors, and photography enthusiasts for a celebration of contemporary and classic photographic art. Located in one of London’s most dynamic cultural districts, the fair showcased a broad spectrum of work, from documentary and street photography to fine art, portraiture, and experimental image-making. The event provided emerging and established photographers with an opportunity to exhibit their work to a diverse audience while fostering dialogue about the evolving role of photography in contemporary visual culture. The industrial character of the Old Truman Brewery contributed significantly to the atmosphere of the exhibition. Its expansive gallery spaces allowed for ambitious displays and encouraged visitors to explore photography in a setting that contrasted with traditional museum environments. Exhibitors presented both original prints and limited-edition works, highlighting the growing interest in photography as a collectible art form. Through exhibitions, networking opportunities, and public engagement, the fair reinforced London's position as an important international center for photographic practice.
