The 9th Photo London Fair awaits visitors at Somerset House.

This year, there are over 400 photographers from more than 30 countries. The works on display range from the personal to the political; from social documentares to the glamor of fashion, music and travel visuals; and from everyday poetry to constructed images that explore photography's complex reflection of the human psyche in our post-truth age.

In her recent works, Jacqueline Roditi fictionally photographs her dreams as she remembers them and presents a series to the audience. She creates her own story by bringing together and editing her melancholy frames. The artist's photographs take us on walks where familiar hours flow longer. She portrays timeless desert, sky, lake and road views accompanied by intertwined bodies and moments full of compassion, living in the flow of everyday life.
