Institute have relaunched their website too..

I rarely used to be too interested in portraiture, but recently I’ve found myself looking at portrait photography quite a bit. Brigitte Lacombe is one of them. She’s a photographer, whose work I often see in Newsweek (The Martin Amis photo seen below was printed in last week’s issue). I didn’t know anything about her though. Only having visited Lacombe’s website did I realise that she is in fact somebody who has been around for a long long time. Live and learn…
