I am not normally drawn to
portraits but I have recently seen them displayed in new and interesting ways
which has grabbed my attention. I really enjoyed reading the Lenscratch post by Grant Gill posted on April 16th about Anthony Luvera's new work. Anthony Luvera is an English photographer
who captured images of 11 people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or
transgender; the series is called not
going shopping. He has had shows
at the National Portrait Gallery in London, which happens to be one of my
favorite museums and I believe I have previously seen his work. I really enjoy that the exhibition as a whole
is made of series of three images accompanies by a phrase. I feel that the different expressions
captured along with a quote allows us to understand the subject better. Recently I have been seeing several other exhibitions
like this and want to explore the method more.
I really feel that displaying the images in this way allows the viewers
to connect to the subjects and understand them.
