Barbara Chandler Photographs

LOVE LONDON

Barbara Chandler's biggest show to date - Love London - was in Habitat's flagship Regent Street Store in September 2008, in a historic circular picture gallery which dates back to 1887.
Barbara's pictures (38 in this show) span 20 years, and are shot on a variety of film, from grainy black- and-white to clear joyous colour. These are Barbara's own personal take on London sights and scenes, some seemingly familiar, others sharply unexpected, but all observed with an idiosyncratic eye. Shoppers, buskers, children, guards, commuters, revellers, market traders and simply passers-by - these have become photo tableaux at various times.
