Suffolk arts venue Wingfield Barns will be hosting The Royal Photographic Society's International Print Exhibition from tomorrow, direct from its opening show in London.
During its long history of over 150 years, the exhibition has gained a reputation for showcasing a wide range of genres and styles of photography, with cutting edge prints being shown alongside traditional work. This has ensured its unique status within the photographic world.
It was Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, a staunch supporter of the society, who suggested the RPS should collect photographs to record the rapid technical process in photography.
Each year, the society invites submissions for the exhibition from professional, student and amateur photographers worldwide. Prints chosen by the selection committee are awarded gold, silver or bronze medals.
