In-Public (sometimes written iN-PUBLiC) is an international group of street photographers that operates as a collective.[1][2] It was established in 2000 by Nick Turpin with the intention of bringing together like minded photographers to hold exhibitions, produce books and conduct workshops and promote street photography.[3]
It was the first international collective of street photographers,[4] its geographically disparate membership facilitated by the Internet.[3] New members were accepted but the recruitment process was "haphazard and organic".[3]
In-Public was established in 2000 by Nick Turpin.[7][8] Turpin left the collective in 2018.[9][10] Its website stated that the collective ended in October 2018[5] because of a division between its members over the posting by two of them of a computational image and a staged image. Many of the old members formed a new group, UP Photographers.[6]
In April 2020 In-Public's website stated that the group had relaunched, "with a new remit to promote and celebrate photographers who eschew staging and manipulation".[6] The new group included a few from its previous membership, including Turpin.[6]
