The Sony World Photography Awards Exhibition will bring together some of the world's most exciting contemporary photographers to champion photography in all its forms -- from portraiture to landscape, architecture to wildlife, and fine art to street photography.
This year's shortlisted images have been drawn from over 415,000 images from more than 200 countries and territories, making it one one of the most impressive collections in the Awards' history.
Also on display will be be a special collection of 20 photographs by the winner of this year's Outstanding Contribution to Photography Award: Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi.
Highlights include her series Utatane (2001), AILA (2004) and Illuminance (2009), and works from Ametsuchi (2013) - a series inspired by a dream in which Kawauchi became fascinated by the 1000-year old tradition of 'noyaki' (burning field).
