We regularly hand over our Instagram grid (@thephotographersgallery) to a different photographer or practitioner as part of our Takeovers programme. Platforming a range of unique bodies of work and perspectives from around the world gives photographers a chance to share the fundamentals of their creative practice, to expand upon current conversations in photography and showcase work or projects which align with what’s on at the Gallery now.
Current #TPGTakeover Artists
In January 2026 we featured:
Michael Kenna (@michaelkennaphoto) is a British photographer, who currently lives in Seattle, Washington, USA. His mysterious photographs, often made at dawn or in the dark hours of night, concentrate primarily on the interaction between the natural landscape and human-made structures. With a career spanning fifty years, Kenna is particularly well-known for the intimate scale of his photography and his meticulous personal printing style. Kenna is both a diurnal and nocturnal photographer, fascinated by light when it is most pliant. With long time-exposures, which might last throughout the night, his photographs often record details that the human eye is not able to perceive. His photographic prints have been shown in almost five hundred solo exhibitions and over four hundred group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the world.
Ezekiel (@ezekielarchive) is a photographer, filmmaker and artist whose work often explores the intricacies and nuances of gender, sexuality, and identity through an intimately queer gaze. Their practice is deeply informed by their experiences as a first-generation immigrant navigating the tensions between Eastern and Western cultures. Ezekiel’s work seeks to critically examine the politics of modern representation and colonial frameworks, challenging our dominantly white, heteronormative visual culture. For their #TPGtakeovers, they shared works from their newly released photobook ‘Somewhere between a doll and a dog’, published by SMUT (@smutspreads), which is currently available at our bookshop.
Paulina Korobkiewicz (@pakropka) is a Polish, London-based photographer and visual artist. Her work explores themes of cultural identity, memory, and the transformation of social spaces. Her projects focus on the visual and cultural landscape of her hometown and region as well as that of her current residence in the UK, documenting everyday scenes and environments with a sense of nostalgia and socio-political commentary, drawing from her own experience of migration. Her practice involves community-based research, conducting workshops, and mentoring. In addition to developing long-form personal projects, Paulina continues to undertake commissions and residencies. She self-published multiple publications and enjoys working with the book-format. Her first trips back home since moving abroad inspired her photobook ‘Disco Polo’(2016) which is currently in stock at our bookshop, along with two other publications, ‘Wall Unit’ zine (2018) and her latest photobook ‘Homeland’(2024).
