ABOUT IMAGES  
Photographers' GalleryThe Photographers' Gallery - Britain's leading centre for contemporary photography - is undergoing a major building project with their grand new premises due to open in 2011. In the meantime, from 6th December 2008, the gallery moves from Great Newport Street, its home for the past 27 years, to occupy the buildings in Ramilies Street that will be completely renovated by Irish architects, O'Donnell + Tuomey. The extended gallery, cafe and education centre will expand over six floors with a year-round programme of fantastic free exhibitions and events. The reputation of this long-standing gallery is well known, hosting as it does the Deutsche Brse Prize, the photographer's equivalent of the Turner. This is accessible art in every respect.
