This year’s annual Photo London, the eighth, brings together over 120 galleries from around the world. The eminent Martin Parr takes top billing as the fair’s master of photography, an honor bestowed each year on an artist who’s made extraordinary contributions to the field of photography. The fair’s founders describe Parr’s work as “a dazzling hymn to the brilliant, slightly bonkers nation that we call home.” In addition to a display of Parr’s recent works, Photo London offers a host of panels, book signings, workshops, and exhibitions—don’t miss Dafydd Jones’s “England: The Last Hurrah,” photographs that document the Eton picnics and tony birthday parties attended by the country’s upper echelons in the 1980s. Unable to attend the fair in person? You can now explore the galleries virtually using Photo London’s brand new—and relatively seamless—3-D technology. —Paulina Prosnitz
