During World Photo London Backyard Magazine produced a pop-up issue in an afternoon.

Thanks to the WPO we were able to invite a number of contributors to Somerset House, who came along to help shape the issue.

The themes of home, family and community shine through in this issue – and are all great examples of “backyard” photography.

Thanks to everyone who took part in our first (of hopefully many) special editions!

WORLD PHOTO LONDON POP-UP ISSUE

Backyard showcases the work of photographers who love to explore and capture their neighbourhoods. After a fantastic response to our inaugural London issue we’re now visiting Queensland, Australia.

We’ve deliberately stayed away from the typical stereotype of kangaroos, sun, surf and beaches. Queensland might be a relatively new state in a new country, but it’s a much more complex place than the mirage created by the tourist industry and beer commercials.

ISSUE TWO OUT NOW!

The Sony World Photography Awards Exhibitions are visiting Somerset House again this April and May!

Alongside this internationally-focused exhibition will be something a little closer to home at World Photo London, which is a series of exhibitions, workshops and events for anyone who enjoys photography.

Many of the events are free and students get a 20% discount!
