The emperor's new clothes



Multi-award winning photographer and filmmaker Raymond Depardon has his first solo exhibition in the UK - I went along to see it.

On entering the show my attention was immediately drawn to the amateurish presentation of the work - A3 prints butted together using drawing pins.

The theme 'cities in upheaval' didn't seem to permeate throughout the exhibition. I felt a little self-editing may have helped – showing only the pictures where the subject shone through.

I'm sure Raymond had a great time travelling various cities of the world, however his pictures left me cold.
