For me, it felt as if the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2010 at the Photographers Gallery was staged dispassionately and unintuitively, with the effect that Sophie Ristelhueber’s broody prizewinning politicised works seemed neutered at first. On the second circuit of the gallery their impact is clear - her mid-eastern pictures use judiciously overt digital manipulation and are, to a casual, ignorant visitor like me, attractive through the editorial flair they display.

However, my personal show highlight was the wryly selected downbeat-and-at-heel shopfront photographs by ‘chronicler of the overlooked’, Zoe Leonard.

Free and definitely demands a visit before the exhibition ends on 18th April.
