During this intensive one-week workshop we will examine the many forms, ideas and histories within photographic portraiture. Many of us have long-standing notions regarding what exactly a portrait is and how it should function. You will be asked to question these ideas, perhaps pushing beyond certain comfort zones and methodologies. You will be breaking old habits. Participants should question preconceived ideas around the subjects you choose, moments represented and even the environments in which your images occur. I will ask you to challenge your approach to making work while creating a series of portraits that best represents and extends your existing photographic practice. There will be lectures, readings, critiques and lots of shooting. All working styles, techniques and methodologies will be explored and encouraged.
