In collaboration with Port of London Authority, we are thrilled to announce Thames Lens 2022 is now open for entries! For 16 years Thames Lens has encouraged amateur photographers to get out and explore the River Thames through a creative lens. For the first time this year, we have four distinct categories, each of which speak to different facets of the river that all offer different potential. On top of that, there will be workshops to help you take the best photos possible on your phone, SLR, or even learn how to make a pin-hole camera, from last year’s winner Olga Suchanova. There will also be a winners’ exhibition at the Cutty Sark in 2023. Find out how to take part below
