What to look out for at the art fair in the capital.

MR PORTER has teamed up with Photo London to ask some experts from the world of photography (as well as some enthusiasts from our own team) to select their favourite image from the fair. Read about the photograph chosen by Mr Adam Welch, Editorial Director of MR PORTER, below.

Mr Welch has selected an image by the emerging Indian photographer Mr Arko Datto. Exhibiting for the first time, Mr Datto is using Photo London to showcase his three-year project Shunyo Raja/Kings Of A Bereft Land, which documents life on the world’s largest delta, the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna, detailing the challenges faced by the residence of the delta’s archipelago of islands – a delicate balances between land, air and sea.

“I have a quiet obsession with islands – perhaps because life off the mainland is as difficult as it is beautiful. Mr Datto captures this brilliantly throughout Shunyo Raja, but I particularly like this beach shot, both for its painterly colour and composition and its element of suspense and uncertainty. The boat could be coming or going – you have to wonder what it might be bringing, or who it might have taken with it.”
