Vladimir Putin, photographed by Platon
Year 12 BTEC Art and Design took a day trip in November to the World Press Photography exhibition in London.
The trip was inspiring and will help us with our BTEC Photography Units. As a student it is important to see successful artists work. It makes you see that there is a possibility that eventually your work will be admired.
The World Press Photography exhibition displays the work of Photo-Journalists from all over the world. The exhibition shows an amazing range of photography every year. All the work in the exhibition has won a recognised award.

During my visit to the World Press Photography exhibition the image of the former Russian president Vladimir Putin, taken by the photographer Platon (shown above), caught my attention. I particularly liked the way that the lighting makes the image look really grey even though it is not. I also like the way that Putin is wearing a suit that matches the colour of his eyes as it gives the picture a good visual effect. The image makes Putin look very powerful.

Your blog has inspired me to go and visit the exhibition. Is it still on?
