Looking Out, was taken in the picture gallery at Althorp House, ancestral home to the Spencers and final resting place of Diana, Princess of Wales, and features a solitary, contemplative figure, portrayed by the actress Thandie Newton. The artist has employed her trade mark panoramic camera, but here the image is a 120° pan selected from a full 360° shot. Taylor-Wood typically leaves the narrative unresolved, suggesting the photographer wanted someone who was achingly beautiful in a surrounding that was equally achingly beautiful, but for the two to be slightly incongruous.
