Intro
Bringing you the hottest photography news, and our hand-picked selection of the top exhibitions and events.
We also bring web visitors video-tours of other exhibitions they may not be able to visit in person, interviews with exhibitors and curators and feature a Blog of the Month.
Between the first exhibition in November 2005 and the most recent in January 2012, the Viewfinder has also delivered 65+ photography-based exhibitions to provoke and expand image making and discussion and 70+ workshops and events, including an outreach series, to engage the community. In May 2011, the Viewfinder closed its physical gallery space and began an exciting programme of pop-up exhibitions and events.
Please let us know what you think of the new website, and any photography events or information you think we should feature! Email us at gallery@viewfinder.org.uk - we'd love to hear from you.
Testimonials
“The Viewfinder Photography Gallery has given a voice and opportunity to so many photographers, regardless of age, race or creed.”
Adrian Capps, Chairman of London Independent Photography
“The Viewfinder Photography Gallery has established a powerful presence and reputation as a centre for imaginative exhibitions and the promotion of high quality photography. I hope it will continue to thrive and develop in the years ahead.”
Nick Raynsford MP
"Viewfinder has moved very nicely into the digital networked world of the Internet. In doing so, Viewfinder provides opportunities to be connected to the global collective of photographers and visual artists."
Roberto Muffoletto, Director of VASA
“The Viewfinder Photography Gallery provides an invaluable service to the local community and beyond through its exhibition, workshop and outreach programmes. I am pleased to offer my support for the Viewfinder – it is always encouraging to see small arts organisations providing high quality activities.”
Bob Harris, Chairman of the Cultural Forum
“The Viewfinder Photography Gallery has made a valuable contribution to photographic and visual arts communities over recent years, particularly around supporting emerging artists. Exhibitions cover a wide range of practices and they have enthusiastically placed themselves within an ongoing dialogue about the nature of photography in London, and how it might speak to a wide constituency of practitioners, gallery audiences, educators and theorists.”
