Photographer and AOP Member Wendy Carrig will curate this show taken from finalists and winners of the 31^st AOP Photography Awards, responding to the LOOK/15:Exchange theme components of women, migration and memory.

This showcase of the cream of commercial photography was originally selected by photographers Rankin and Tom Stoddart as well as major names in the creative world including Sarah Pascoe, Mark George and Susie Babchick. The Awards photographs were first shown at the Business Design Centre, London, in December 2014 and are included in The Book which is available from the AOP website.

The Awards will take on a new life through this specially curated exhibition and new space. With such a prominent selection panel, award history and professional membership, this show is sure to tantalise.

Association of Photographers

The Association of Photographers was originally formed in 1968 by a number of leading professionals joining together to form the Association of Fashion & Advertising Photographers (AFAP). It later became AFAEP before becoming the AOP in 1993. Since its creation it has grown into one of the UK’s leading and most respected organisations representing professional photographers. It campaigns on copyright and legal matters, provides numerous industry discounts to its members, markets their work and hosts many seminars and workshops on ‘the business’ of commercial photography.
