On Thursday i went back to London with my photography class for a trip to The National Portrait Gallery to look at David Bailey's exhibition, we were also fortunate to get given a workshop in the afternoon at the gallery with different ways to use lighting and backgrounds in the studio, it was really fun trying it all out especially with using different materials for backgrounds than just the standard white or black.The David Bailey exhibition itself was really interesting, portraits aren't what i'm really into but i enjoyed looking at his work and how he'd used lots of different cameras and even just camera phones over the years. I really liked his Camera Phone series room, they were different to everything else and had lots of shapes and colours that stood out to me making them interesting to look at. We also had some time to wander around London for a little so i took the opportunity to film some of my short film for the course since it was a beautiful sunny day out and took a trip to Snog frozen yogurt place by Covent Garden as i'm really loving frozen yogurt and it's becoming a tradition to get some when i go to London lately. It was a lovely day trip to London with my college friends and the exhibition was great. I'll leave you with some photos from the day.
Thanks for popping by,
have a wonderful day.

Sounds like a really interesting exhibition. One I haven't seen but will have to.
ReplyDeleteIt's honestly really good, makes it more interesting that David himself put all the work up in the way he wanted with the narrative he wanted
