In the V&A there were a variety of different works ranging from extreme close ups of eletricals to the contains of a kitchen cupboard. my favourite of all of the pieces was teh collection of images by Fay Godwin and the way that the use of black and which intensifies the images and creates a much more dramatic effect.I must admit, I was very kean on the majority of works from the The Photographers' Gallery, as i didnt acually understand half of them although i think that technically they were quite clever. Many of the images we viewed in the National Portrait Gallery seemed to be heavily manipulated and almost looked too perfect, especially when you looked and the Road to 2012 collection, whereas the works of Thomas Struth, despite being staged looked much more real and less perfect.
