Portraiture Now, at the National Portrait Gallery, focuses on the work of six artists working on feature photography for publications ranging from the New Yorker to Esquire. Each has a unique take on contemporary portraiture, and are chosen because their work reaches such a broad audience. Included are Alec Soth (whose work is above) and Ryan McGinley. To complement the show a nice web feature is up and worth a gander.
