Online Exhibition: "Portraiture Now: Feature Photography"

The National Portrait Gallery recently opened an exhibition that explores the work of six photographers—Katy Grannan, Jocelyn Lee, Ryan McGinley, Steve Pyke, Martin Schoeller, and Alec Soth—who, through their editorial assignment work, "each bring their distinctive 'take' on contemporary portraiture to a broad audience."

"Their work," reads the curatorial statement, "builds upon a longstanding tradition of photographic portraiture for the popular press and highlights creative possibilities for twenty-first-century portrayal."

For those who won't find themselves in Washinton, D.C. anytime soon, an online exhibition was created and can be found here; however, according to the site, there are additional portraits in the gallery that do not appear in the Web exhibition.
