Some photographs don’t just stop time — they dissolve it. 🖤

Sarah Moon’s fifth solo show at is exactly that kind of experience. New colour and black-and-white works spanning 2003 to now, including never-before-seen images — each one poised between dream and disappearance, her signature soft-focus world where Dior gowns and Yohji silhouettes become something closer to memory than fashion.

Over 30 years of collaboration between Moon and Hoppen, and the language only deepens.

On until 17 July at 10 Portland Road, London. If you haven’t been — go.

✨ What a week at Photo London 2026 — and what a setting. Olympia delivered a truly immersive experience, the scale and energy of the new home felt like a statement in itself.

Huge congratulations to the incredible artists & galleries making up this year’s edition. My top 5 artists below:

📸 Edward Rollitt at Victoria Law Projects
📸 Jesse Willems at Clementine de la Féronnière
📸 Sissi Farassat at Curatorial
📸 Weronika Gęsicka at JEDNOSTKA
📸 Miriam Tolke ._art at Ira Stehman

And a very special mention to Photon Gallery from Ljubljana, who brought one of the most compelling selections of avant-garde photography from Slovenia.

The new section Source curated by Tristan Lund proved that the most exciting work in photography often comes from those who’ve been overlooked - a trail that felt genuinely essential this edition. Can’t wait to see where this goes next year 🙌

Photography is still one of the most underrated collecting categories — and next week, all eyes are on London. 📷

opens 14 May at its new home, Olympia, and this year’s programme is seriously worth your attention.

What I’ll be looking at:
✦ Steven Meisel as Master of Photography — rare early work from his first ever London shoot
✦ Daidō Moriyama’s iconic post-war Japan at Akio Nagasawa Gallery
✦ Rosalind Fox Solomon’s haunting AIDS-era portraits — historically important and long overlooked
✦ The new Source section spotlighting undervalued artists who deserve serious collector attention.

The photography market is maturing fast. Edition sizes, provenance, condition — it all matters now the way it does in any major collecting category.
But the opportunity is still there. Museum-quality work at prices that still make sense. Not for much longer.
I’ll be there all week.

Send a DMs if you want to talk about what’s worth seeing — or whether photography belongs in your collection.

Amazing show that just opened at by the most talented artist “Quiet Magic” is on until 23 May, make your way to Camberwell to see it!

Lindsey’s portraits are mesmerising and can transport you to a different mood instantly - focusing more on the mood of the sitters and what is hidden behind a face, an expression, this show is a great exploration into women’s psychology.

From the show text by “In Quiet Magic, figures drift through space as though
caught off-guard, between gestures—walking, resting,
turning to look. They appear lost in thought yet also entirely present, performers who are simultaneously audience to their own interior worlds. In this way, the paintings capture everyday human polarities that recur throughout her practice: loneliness and confidence, fragility and strength, solitude and togetherness. Clothing and costume come to play a central role in revealing these layered identities. Elaborate garments—floor-length gowns, flowing dresses, textured fabrics—become both armour and stage costume, suggesting roles that can be inhabited or shed.”

Magnificent Sholto Blissett show at conduit street on until 25th April •

“Comprising a series of fictional landscapes, the exhibition continues Blissett’s exploration of humanity’s relationship with nature. Drawing on traditions of landscape painting while incorporating elements of surrealism and magical realism, these imagined worlds resist fixed geography or chronology. Instead, they invite viewers to reconsider inherited ideas of nature, wilderness and perception.”
