MUNRO HOUSE

Munro House is a privately owned art gallery in Leeds city center. During our visit, they were exhibiting work from a competition called ‘Shot Up North’. The exhibition ranged from very commercially influenced images to contemporary fine art photography demonstrating a variety of responses and approaches. I found it interesting to be experiencing images of such diversity in one exhibition, it allowed me to consider how many different ways there are to respond to a brief regardless of the genre (portraiture, fashion, landscape etc). On the other hand, I found that having such a wide collection of responses all displayed and presented in a mundane environment favored the more commercial images, ultimately influencing the viewer’s perception of images.
