Twenty-four photographers are capturing the first 24 hours of the New Year every year for 24 years.

So far, they have documented 13 years, with a London exhibition planned to celebrate passing the halfway point. At the end of the project, there will be 576 images to enjoy.

The anniversary show will be curated by editorial, news and current affairs photographer Brian Harris, who has previously worked at The Independent and The Times.

He praised a “challenging brief well executed” and thanked those involved for “opening my eyes to yet another way of seeing.”

The 24 photographers joined forces while studying on a postgraduate photography course at Central St Martin’s. Each New Year’s Day, each photographer is allocated a specific hour in which to snap what they see around them.

Founder Claire Spreadbury hopes 24 will “capture some of the excitement but also give a glimpse into the rest of the day after the celebrations and parties”.

Photography fans wanting to check out the exhibition can do so from now till 18 March at Soho Square.
