Want To See More Of Me?

The National Portrait Gallery will this spring playing to 'Want to see more of me?' an exhibition of black film actors by Donald Maclellan.

'Want to see more of me?' is a striking new series of portraits of talented and successful black British film actors by photographer Donald MacLellan, funded by the UK Film Council.

A dynamic group of images, opulent and rich in colour, 'Want to see more of me?' celebrates both individual and collective achievement and contributes to debates around diversity, on-screen representation, content and portrayal. Sitters include Colin Salmon, Adrian Lester, Ashley Walters, Mona Hammond, Sophie Okonedo and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

On this new series of portraits MacLellan comments: 'I did a number of test shots which helped me determine the look of the series and I knew I wanted a good cross section of well established actors, new comers and those who are in the later stages of their career'.

The exhibition runs in Room 38a from Friday April 25th to Sunday September 7th. The National Portrait Gallery is open daily form 10am to 6pm and to 9pm on Thursdays and Fridays.
