Anyone planning to go to the V&A and see fragile beauty photographs from the sir-elton john and david furnish collection
There was quite an interesting piece on the news last night where he said he loves photography but hates being photographed, I wonder how many photographers can empathise with that!
Saw this on the news last night, and although I do not like EJ's music (just not my taste) was immediately on t'internet booking tickets !!!!
In reply to your question, It's not so much that i hate being photographed, it's more the camera seems to hate me :-)

good for you I need to book this too. I completely concur!
I saw this on the news this morning. Some of those photos are amazing.
To be really honest, I'd really like to see the whole exhibition.
With me being photographed, I don't mind being photographed, but let's face the truth...... I'm not a model... 😂
The two of Elton in the exhibition as well are a great choice, as it's not like he's taking over, making out like it's all about him..
Looks like a really interesting collection the he has, and this exhibition is definitely on my list to go and see (and generally the V&A is great - including their permanent new Photography gallery)
I aim to go, but not sure when. Looks like it is on until next January so plenty of time.

Yes, it took some searching
I have seen some stuff about this -- I will probably go at some point when I am next in London.
I've seen some photos from the collection already (as JonC says, the permanent photography rooms at the V&A are basically always worth a visit and they have featured photographs from this collection in various configurations) and I have got the impression that they are quite wise, insightful collectors.
If you've never been to the V&A you should go, regardless of what specific exhibitions are on in the exhibition spaces; it's a really lovely museum to just browse around. The Design: 1900 To Now display is cool, for instance.
