The
National Portrait Gallery (one of my faves) and
Vogue have come together to create an inspiring exhibition of fashion photography. Looking at the Vogue back catalogue, the curators have collated the best images of cutting edge fashion, beauty and portraiture from 100 years of Vogue publications. Happily the exhibition has come to
Manchester Art Gallery and I went to take a look.

For any budding photographer (and avid selfie fanatic) this exhibition is well worth a look, as there are plenty of ideas of how to add creativity to your images. Celeb spotters will be happy too, there is a long list from
Henri Matisse to
David Beckham, see how many you recognise! And of course there is the fashion & beauty to inspire with designers from
Dior to
McQueen.

I especially liked how the exhibition has been put together. Grouped by decade, the images give a real sense of life at that time, who we followed and trends we loved (and some we would rather forget!).

The exhibition is on until the 30th of October 2016, check the Manchester Art Gallery website for details. Well worth a visit! I hope we can look forward to more collaborative exhibitions like this in the future.
