Exhibition heads up

[Disphotic]

Heads up on a couple of free exhibitions in London

- Amazon at Somerset House, half of which is photographs by Sebastian Salgado, and finishes on Dec 4th.

- World Press Photo 2011 at the Royal Festival Hall. Not for the squeamish.

Saw the Amazon exhibition yesterday, some excellent images.

Saw the Amazon exhibition yesterday, some excellent images.

Yeah definitely. A bit of an odd matching of photographers though. Can you imagine having you work displayed alongside Salgado's? Pressure...

Saw Salgados first and felt somewhat let down by what followed.Seemed to be coloured snaps of a starlet.

Yeah I agree, Pettersson had a few really nice photos up but even those just don't compare to even Salgado's weakest images, but who's work would? The guy is a living legend.

Review on my blog for anyone interested:
