Description

The Royal Photographic Society presents the 166th edition of the International Photography Exhibition (IPE), renowned for showcasing the diversity of contemporary photography from around the world. This year’s submissions focus on topical themes that include environmental issues; identity; community; family; and culture, showing how contemporary photographers engage with and capture aspects of the world as visually compelling as they are socially and culturally significant.

The two award recipients for the 166th edition of the IPE are Lydia Goldblatt and Keerthana Kunnath. Lydia Goldblatt receives the IPE Award for her series Fugue, which explores motherhood as a central theme, considering love and grief, mothering and losing a mother, as well as intimacy and distance. The Under 30s Award is presented to Keerthana Kunnath for her series Not What You Saw, which centres on South Indian female bodybuilders who challenge entrenched gender and beauty norms by embracing physical strength, a trait often considered as masculine.
