Drawn from the National Portrait Gallery’s world-leading photography collection, this exhibition showcases portraits of British film, music, and fashion icons by acclaimed international photographers. Spanning the 1950s to the present day, it presents each portrait as a dynamic encounter between two creative forces: one in front of the camera and one behind it.
These compelling portraits pose a question at the heart of the National Portrait Gallery’s collection: where do image and identity intersect? They celebrate the creativity of British cultural icons and the photographers who have shaped how we see them.
