As sitters were often photographed one at a time, the project involved many trips to Whitehall and countless phone calls to private offices, press offices and political advisers to secure their co-operation. Sometimes David had literally 2 minutes of a Minister's time to achieve the portrait. There are a few notable omissions; David hopes to include these before the definitive book is published later this year. As they have, for the most part, agreed in principal to be photographed but have yet to find space in their diaries. Kim Howells MP said: “All too often, generations not yet born regret the lack of images that convey grains of truth about the character of public figures. David Partner's remarkable photographs supply those grains, warts and all, if you'll excuse the mixed metaphor.” The exhibition runs at The Association of Photographers Gallery until the 18th March 2005
