Entry is free and not only will you hear from some of the worlds leading documentary photographers, you may pick up a bargain from some up and coming ones! (prints starts at just £5).
May Day Photo Festival celebrates the current practice of documentary photography, featuring an exhibition by American documentary photographer Joseph Rodriguez, and a programme of talks and screenings.
The festival is an unique opportunity to hear presentations given by the multimedia duo Duckrabbit, practitioners advancing the art of documentary photofilms, and acclaimed street photographer Matt Stuart, member of iN-PUBLiC.
