London Photo Show
My passion at the London Photo show 2023
After visiting The London Photo Show in 2022, I made a personal commitment to enhance my photography skills and eventually display my own work there. Late in 2023, just three weeks before the exhibition began, I completed my Passion studio portraits. Although I doubted the possibility of securing a spot, I decided to contact the organizers anyway, and to my astonishment two spots were available. This was my golden opportunity and perfectly timed. The exhibition, hosted by the talented team at 36exp photography school, offers shy newbies and pros an incredible platform to showcase their work. With only three weeks to prepare, the race was on to get the prints ready.
The event
Exhibiting at the London Photo Show 2023 turned out to be an excellent decision. I decided to showcase three Heart portraits in A1 size, the pressure was on to ensure the prints were flawless, as due to the size any imperfections would be easily noticeable. The spacious rooms with high ceilings and large windows were the perfect backdrop, my large prints allowed viewers to fully immerse themselves in the intricate details of my Passion portraits. Not only did I make my first art sales, but I also had the opportunity to connect with visitors who may not have discovered my artwork otherwise.
Visitors
The Bargehouse gallery had an electrifying atmosphere, from the exciting grand opening to the final day on Sunday. The place was filled with a lively crowd of visitors who truly brought the space to life. It was amazing to witness people interacting with my artwork, grabbing leaflets and business cards. I enjoyed chatting with many of them. To hear their positive feedback and how my work resonated with them was incredibly fulfilling. I was filled with joy when some even contacted me afterwards, becoming customers and fans of my fine art photography.

Make sure to visit this entire area in the vibrant heart of London's South Bank! The OXO Tower is a bustling center for skilled independent designers, along with a variety of restaurants, cafes, lively bars, and exceptional exhibition spaces such as the gallery@oxo. Personally, my favorite spot is the Bargehouse. See you in 2024.
