Viewing Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition 2026

Returning to Somerset House this week, the Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition gathers more than 300 photographs in a wide-ranging survey of the medium today. Spanning documentary, portraiture, wildlife, architecture, sport and still life, the exhibition places winning and shortlisted images under one roof. Alongside the main presentation are two special showcases: an immersive mixed-media display of Joel Meyerowitz’s works and an expanded presentation of Zed Nelson’s The Anthropocene Illusion.

This exhibition remains one of London’s strongest annual photography fixtures, not least because of its breadth. There is room here for emerging names, established practitioners and vastly different ways of seeing the world, all within a single exhibition that holds up just as well on a first sweep as it does on a second, slower look.
