My ten favourite shots from the RA Summer Exhibition

With over 1700 works on show at this year’s RA Summer Exhibition, you spot new pieces each time you visit. It’s almost impossible to choose favourites really, but, on my third visit, I recorded some of the works that were becoming increasingly familiar and enjoyable to see again.
