London Visit

Some images from our trip to some London Galleries.

The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize:



David Knight


Some really interesting and inspiring work. Would be interesting to know what cameras are used for these images. Am hoping to do some more portrait photography now I have my new Canon 50D and 50mm lens :)


"Headwig" at Camden Art Centre:




Cindy Sherman

Less inspiring. We were warned that this exhibition might be a bit lacking and it certainly didn't inspire us. A mix of painting, video and photography but very limited and with very little cohesion or information. Included a couple of Cindy Sherman photographs which I had hoped might be interesting but they added very little.


"Pop Life" at the Tate Modern:




Tracy Emin



A colourful display of commercialism in art, based around Andy Warhole and others inspired by him. Not really my cup of tea but interesting to see works by Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons in the flesh and certainly a lot to write about for my museums and galleries essay.
