In this hands on two day workshop you will produce a collection of photographs and develop and/or deepen an understanding of your practice. Through practical exercises and homework, we will experiment with some of the key concepts of portrait photography including performance, self-portraiture and the dynamics of the photoshoot. Your practical work will be supported by introductions to the history and theory of portrait photography. These will be drawn on in the development of your project and you will experience taking part in group discussions about your work and ideas.  To finish off the workshop, you will be invited to participate in a group exhibition at Conway Hall, gaining experience in planning and installing a group photography show. (Date TBC)  This workshop is suitable for all levels and abilities and you will need to bring your own camera equipment.  This course takes place on 21st & 28th October 2017 with an exhibition at Conway Hall in 2018 (date TBC).
