A CREATIVE NETWORK
Life Framer is also an independent community that promotes and champions creative culture on and off line. We celebrate our favourite series from the community in our Collection, publish interviews in our Journal, and share daily the stories behind submitted images in our social feeds. You can also build and share your own ‘my LF’ profile.
Across 6 years of past editions we have presented the work of artists in three photobooks and exhibitions in London, Tokyo, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Milan, Switzerland and at Arles Photo Festival.
