About

Welcome to the London Independent Photography 26th Annual Exhibition!

The LIP Annual Exhibition, now in its 26th year, aims to provide a platform for members to exhibit their best work – to be viewed by each other and the general public. The growth of our membership in recent years means we always receive more prints in the selection process than hanging space allows.

We go to great lengths to ensure the selection process is completely anonymous, giving each and every member an equal chance to exhibit. Therefore, independent professionals who are connected to London’s photographic community, but not members of LIP, conduct the selection process. Having independent selectors is the fairest way to choose representative photography by our members, year after year.
