*EF ART
I went to
the exhibition by one of the most famous fashion photographers, David Bailey, at the National
Galleries of Scotland. He knows how to capture the memorable portrait photography image.
I also went
to the Jean Etienne Leotard
exhibition there.
He used mainly pastels and managed to capture the most perfect, luminous portraits.
Where has he been hiding? If you look
down from the faces you see the most minute detail on the lace and the intimate
expressions are unmatched. His realism as astonishing too - photography
perfect.
There are two miniatures of Jacobites - Prince Charles Edward Stewart, 1720 - 1788. Eldest son of Prince James Francis Edward Stewart.
Prince Henry Benedict Clement Stewart, 1725 - 1807. Cardinal York;
younger brother of Prince Charles Edward
His portraits
are highly memorable. They present soft delicacy and such careful subtle details.
He is a
sensitive recorder of introspection. Oddly this is what interests me with
portrait photography too - perhaps I am on the right paths after all!
