Andy and I visited Photofair this weekend. Part of Photomonth, the East London Photography Festival, Photofair spreads over Spitalfields market and features an eclectic mix of photographers and galleries selling prints, publishers and photography service providers. Printwise there was something for everyone - from £10 prints from amateur enthusiasts to £10,000+ Burtynsky’s.

We met and talked to a large number of photographers, discovering some great work that hopefully we will be able to make available through the gallery in the not too distant future.

The day was rounded off with a visit to ‘A Place Like Home’ at Foundry and Obama’s People at Flowers Kingsland Road.

Some outtakes and links from the day below.
