Natural Beauty Exhibition at Leeds City Museum


Natural Beauty at Leeds City Museum


We visited the Natural Beauty exhibition at Leeds City Museum where Sara Porters photographs were on display. Her work has been exhibited in France as well as the UK and has been published in the national press. She was born in Liverpool and was originally a science teacher but then turned to photography. She used to work in black and white film but now digital.

This exhibition was photographs of what Sara had taken of the collection of animals that the museum had.

I liked the exhibition as some of the images were very good especially the fox, as they were very crisp and clear. The close up shots she took of the animals skulls were good as they showed lots of detail.

What I didn’t like about the exhibition was how in-between all of the photographs they was a random picture of birds which looked just like a print and not an actual photograph and there was no explanation why it was there. Also there were some stuffed animals in the middle of the room which looked ok from far away but when looked at closely the glue was visible and some stitching was loose and visible. This made the exhibition less appealing I thought.
