Documentary and fine art photographers are donating prints for a special auction to support the London Festival of Photography

Author: Olivier Laurent

In support of next year's edition of the London Festival of Photography, Dr Michael Pritchard of the Royal Photographic Society will be leading an auction of artists' prints.

"Many of the festival's contributing photographers have donated prints so you will have the chance to own the best of the festival," say the organisers. "Lively entertainment, refreshments and opportunities for mingling and prize-winning will ensure the evening is a night to remember. All proceeds will go towards ensuring the festival is back in 2013."

The festival will be offering prints from artists including Edward Burtynsky, Simon Roberts, Chris Steele-Perkins, Martin Parr, Olivia Arthur, Steve Bloom, Zed Nelson, Kurt Tong, John Angerson, Wasma Mansour, Andre Penteado, Alejandro Cartagena, Toby Smith, Arnhel de Serra and Frederick Wilfred, among others.

There will also be a silent auction of signed books and cameras.

Entry to the auction, which takes place on 19 July at the Dog Eared Gallery, is £15.
