Capturing the Moment

Capturing the Moment

Two exhibitions at Michael Hoppen Gallery, London, celebrate the work of Jacques Henri Lartigue. Chosen by Paul Smith, the selection tracks the photographer’s work from 1950-1970, and takes shape as a series of spontaneous yet highly curated snapshots. Each image captures a sense of joy and individuality, offering a rich sense of paradise. As Smith notes:  “I’ve always admired Henri Lartigue as the master of the caught moment, so many of his best photos are about a spontaneous moment.”

Until 27 July. Find out more here.
