For many, John F Kennedy is the president who trumps them all - and now a new exhibition will show never-before-seen photographs of him at home with his family.

Proud Galleries central venue is offering Londoners an inside-look at the Kennedy Family’s most intimate moments, thanks to a series of historic photographs by Mark Shaw.

The exhibition, Life with the Kennedys, highlights former US president John F Kennedy’s golden years in office, including shots of him with his family, relaxing in Cape Cod and taking on the presidential campaign trail with his ever-famous wife, the iconic Jackie O. The series comes to Proud Central 55 years after the president’s tragic public assassination in Dallas, Texas.

Mark Shaw began his relationship with the Kennedys in 1959 after being commissioned to capture portraits of the family during JFK’s presidential run. He developed a good friendship with the family, and soon after became the Kennedy's unofficial photographer. Some of his most famous works include snaps of the family in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, including JFK’s favorite portrait of himself on the beach.
