In-Public (sometimes written iN-PUBLiC) is an international group of street photographers that operates as a collective photo agency. 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.

It was the first international collective of street photographers, its geographically disparate membership facilitated by the Internet. New members were accepted but the recruitment process was "haphazard and organic".

It ended in 2018 but was relaunched in 2020.

History

In-Public was established in 2000 by Nick Turpin. Turpin left the collective in 2018. Its website stated that the collective ended in October 2018 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.

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". The new group included a few from its previous membership, including Turpin.
