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.
