The 2025 Talks Programme features a strong line-up of speakers and is curated by Thames & Hudson, with contributions from Photo London partners Nikon and FT Weekend.

The talks provide listeners with unique insights from some of the world’s most vital photographic voices, so expect to hear lively, dynamic debates and in-depth discussions to broaden and deepen your understanding of photography.

You must purchase a Day Pass or Weekend ticket for the same day as the talk is taking place. Talks are in The Screening Room (South Wing via Embankment) and each event has a limited capacity, so we advise arriving five minutes before the scheduled start time to avoid disappointment. Please note that latecomers may only be admitted at the discretion of Visitor Experience staff in a suitable break.
