PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITIONS
PHOTO NORTH FESTIVAL
The Carriage Works, Leeds
March 13-15th 2026
PHOTO NORTH celebrates documentary photography and film that tell real stories, challenge perspectives, and spark conversation. They champion underrepresented voices and explore pressing social issues. While rooted in documentary practice, the festival also makes space for work that celebrates creativity, culture and pop culture, embracing everything from serious social commentary to lighter, more playful perspectives.
The festival runs from Friday to Sunday and opens with Education Day. Students and young or emerging artists are offered free portfolio reviews and career advice, but the day is open to anyone keen to learn, connect, and feel encouraged.Astronomy Photographer of the Year
