External Events
The exhibitions and other events listed below may be of interest to members and visitors; new additions to the list are highlighted with a red bar. Some London exhibitions are quite small (perhaps 20 prints, or fewer) but are still interesting and/or significant, and may best be combined with other events (or with a shopping trip!) especially as some galleries are conveniently close. Check each exhibition's website for more information.
If members visit a good exhibition within reasonable reach of Hertford, which is not listed here, please send details to John Sandell so that it can be added. Local clubs are invited to submit details of their special events to the webmaster for listing here (at the webmaster's discretion!).
Entries are listed by finishing date – events near the top end soonest, but some at the bottom may already be open!

Travel Photographer of the Year / "TPOTY showcases the diverse world of travel photography.

In 2013 TPOTY will stage its 10th anniversary exhibition, which will be open every day with some late openings as well. In addition, Travel Photography Live! – three days of photography talks and workshops at the Society – is moving to coincide with the exhibition period."

Sebastião Salgado: 'Genesis' / "Salgado's Genesis is the culmination of 8 years work exploring 32 countries. It is his third long-term photographic exploration of global issues, following his previously acclaimed collections Workers and Migrations. "Many of us live in cities, cut off completely from the planet... For me to go back to nature was a huge pleasure. I wished to present the planet in my language: photography." About 200 of his black-and-white documentary photographs are on show. They capture some of the furthest and wildest corners of our world, portraying indigenous communities that continue to live in accordance with their ancestral traditions, and showing rare insights into their lands."
