A woman wading out into a stormy sea, a man sweeping leaves from a driveway and Olympic boxing hopefuls squaring up to each other in Cuba are just some of the images visitors can vote for in this year’s Foto 8 Summer show. More than 1,000 photographers from around the world contributed to the exhibition, which is at the HOST gallery in Clerkenwell, north London, until Friday. Visitors can vote for their favourite image, which will be given the coveted People’s Choice award. There are no themes to the show, which the organisers say is limited only by the photographers’ imagination. Scenes of war, despair and love hang alongside a picture of a hen in a purple jumper. The Best In Show award – which is chosen by a panel of judges – was given to Luca Sage. His picture, Ivory Coast, 2010, of boys lined up in vests with their feet resting on footballs captured World Cup fever.
