Photography from the margins that everyone should see

 

"The Sony World Photography Awards has been providing photographers with a platform for nine years. And this year’s finalists, drawn from a record-breaking 230,103 entries, are testament to the role that awards still play in the lives of professional and emerging photographers alike

The exhibition, curated by Zelda Cheatle and running at Somerset House 22 April – 8 May, is an opportunity for photographers to have their work seen outside the context of their usual sphere: news media photojournalists hang adjacent to fine art; bedroom practitioners sit next to big names. “In a show of this scale I would hope that everyone will find at least one story or image that will stay with them,” says Cheatle. “Choosing which work is your challenge.”"
