Join us for an afternoon admiring photographs as we take in the "Cecil Beaton Fashionable World" and Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize exhibitions at The National Portrait Gallery. No guide, no tour, just us photography enthusiasts walking around the exhibits.
Cecil Beaton's Fashionable World is the first exhibition dedicated solely to Beaton’s ground-breaking contributions to fashion and portrait photography. The exhibition showcases Beaton at his most triumphant – from the Jazz Age and the Bright Young Things, to the high fashion brilliance of the fifties and the glittering, Oscar-winning success of My Fair Lady. Via London, Paris, New York and Hollywood, his era-defining photographs captured beauty, glamour, and star power in the interwar and early post-war eras.
The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize showcases the work of talented young photographers, gifted amateurs and established professionals in the very best of contemporary photography.
We plan on starting our visit at 1:30pm with the Cecil Beaton exhibit, then move on to the Taylor Wessing Prize. We expect to finish by 4:00pm.
Please let us know if you wish to join us by booking a ticket below by 20th December. We will purchase tickets for the group thereafter.
Cecil Beaton Fashionable World: £23.00
Taylor Wessing: £9.50
