Photographing a Modern World: Britain 1900–75


This new exhibition showcases photography from the recently published book Photographing a Modern Britain: 1900–75.

The selection provides a visual chronicle of seven decades of Britain’s social history, capturing defining moments of the 20th century—from the profound upheavals of World War II to the optimism of the Space Age—and featuring iconic images by pioneering photojournalists. Collectively, the photographs offer an unparalleled visual account of Britain’s rapid transformation.

The exhibition opens at HENI Gallery on 4 December 2025.

The book Photographing a Modern World: Britain 1900–75 is available to purchase on the HENI shop and at HENI Gallery.
