This past Sunday 26 August, an article of Unseen Photo Fair was published in the Observer, and on the Guardian website. The article, 'Collecting photography', written by photography critic and writer Sean O'Hagan, focuses on Unseen's aspirations of attracting those who have never purchased photography before, to do so. The article features an interview with one of the Unseen directors, Roderick van der Lee, gallery owner Michael Hoppen of the London-based Michael Hoppen Gallery and several works to be exhibited at both the Unseen Photo Fair and the Unseen Collection. Read the full article.

One of the works featured in the article is slightly surreal, neon-bright portrait by London-born fashion photographer Miles Aldridge (1964). Aldridge has published his photographs in magazines like Vogue Italia, American Vogue, Numéro and The New York Times. In addition, his work has been shown in exhibitions around the world, as well as in solo shows - The Cabinet (2006) and Acid Candy (2008) and Kristen as seen by Miles Adridge and Chantal Joffe (2010) - at Galerie Alex Daniels Reflex Amsterdam. 

Sean O'Hagan writes about photography for the Guardian and the Observer, and winner of the 2011 J Dudley Johnston award from the Royal Photographic Society "for major achievement in the field of photographic criticism".
