With Dona Schwartz, Bryce Meyer, Chinenye Otakpor, Leah Hennel, George Webber & Britta Hennel.
Moderated by Annie Rudd.
When can a photograph be considered a portrait? What do portraits reveal about their subjects? What do they reveal about the people who make them? How do they function within the hierarchies of image making and contemporary art?
Taking these questions as entry points, panelists will consider the meanings and uses of photographic portraiture, from selfies to art photography and from commercial portraits to documentary images. Panelists will explore how portraits are shaped by photographers, their subjects, their intentions, and the many contexts in which they are produced. In Q&A, the panel will also draw insights from the audience and their experiences with photographic portraits, as subjects, makers, and viewers.
