Pentti Sammallahti: When Winter Reigns
Charming exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery of work by Finnish photographer Pentti Sammallahti. These were beautifully observed, classically printed photographs mainly of cold landscapes. I loved a picture of ducks and swans on a smooth lake with the swans making a white focus to the centre of the picture plus one of a frog in a river with just it’s head peeping out. My favourite two were of dogs, the one shown here of farm dogs with a tractor, and one of a dog in the snow carrying a bag, a picture full of purpose. Closed 2 February 2020
