The best of Photo London, Somerset House, 2018
Photo London, the UK's largest selling exhibition of the best (and the worst) photography from all over the world, is back.
Now in its fourth year, the glamorous fair has, once again, taken over the whole of Somerset House for four days. There's an embarrassment of riches on display – more than 118 galleries are exhibiting – and certainly no way to see everything.
So, we've selected a few highlights. From new installations by stage-set designer Es Devlin to Nickolas Muray's Frida Kahlo prints, these are the must-see works at Photo London 2018.
Celebrated in Japan for his post-war photography, Eikoh Hosoe became an international name following the completion of his Ordeal by Roses series. In this remarkable body of work, Hosoe photographed famous Japanese writer Yukio Mishima in a number of different poses in order to explore life and death through movement. When Mishima committed ritual suicide in 1970, Hosoe's images of the writer became super hot property.
