SUMMARY
The Royal Photographic Society's 167th International Photography Exhibition features 318 shortlisted images selected from over 10,000 submissions by 5,233 photographers worldwide. The exhibition, which has a history dating back to 1854, highlights images that stand out not just for their themes of identity, environment, relationships, and culture, but for the photographer's distinctive choices and patience. Four selected images are presented: a restrained landscape from Tasmania, a nine-frame portrait documenting an actor's haircut, a striking group portrait of majorettes, and a thought-provoking image of a chimpanzee in a zoo.
