What is Photo24?
Photo24 is a free, annual 24-hour photography marathon held in London, welcoming photographers of all abilities to capture iconic locations and develop their skills in a fast-paced, collaborative setting. The event features guided photo walks, competitions, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow photography enthusiasts, with a focus on documenting London’s landmarks from daylight through to darkness.
Running from midday on Saturday 20th June to midday on Sunday 21st June 2026, the event spans a full 24 hours.
Do I need to attend for the full 24 hours?
Not at all. You’re welcome to drop in and out, shooting during the hours that suit you best. Most participants book a hotel nearby, allowing them to photograph late into the night, rest for a few hours, and then head out again for sunrise. We’ll encourage everyone to shoot for as many hours as they can manage, with regular challenges, organised photo walks, and events running throughout the 24-hour period.
History of Photo24
Photo24 was created in 2013 by photography journalist Will Cheung during his tenure as editor of Advanced Photographer magazine. When Advanced Photographer ceased publication, Photography News took over the event and helped it grow, attracting over 250 participants and securing sponsorships from brands including Nikon, Fujifilm, and MPB.
Around three years ago, the sponsorships ended and Photography News withdrew from the event. Will continued organizing Photo24 independently as informal gatherings for several more years. In 2025, when Will announced he would be stepping down, I approached Photography News about taking over the organization to ensure Photo24 wouldn’t disappear. They agreed to transfer the event to me, and Photography News will no longer be involved going forward.
Do I need expensive camera kit to attend?
Most certainly not. The desire to learn and take better photos is the driving force rather than your equipment. Whether you shoot on film, a SLR, DSLR, mirrorless, compact, hybrid camera or a phone camera… All are welcome.
