London Trip

Our College trip to London on 28th January included visits to the White Cube Gallery, the Photographers' Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. We were asked to select our favourite image of the day. Here is my feedback and the image itself.

Name of Artist/Photographer: GAINSBOROUGH

Image viewed at which Gallery: NPG

Title of image: JOHANN CHRISTIAN BACH 1770s

Why do you like this image: An image of someone painted 200+ years ago and yet it looks alive and vibrant. JC Bach has a twinkle in his eye. I would like to get to know him.

How could this image/artist influence your work: I will make sure when taking any portrait shots to make sure I engage with the subject so that their personality shines out.
