Short Courses - Spring School on campusAlistair Morrison and Dr Timothy Satterthwaite

Course description
This course explores the paradoxical nature of portrait photography, as both a public and private art form, an expression of social identity and of psychological vulnerability. Through discussion of photographic portraiture from different periods and contexts, and practical experiments in photography and curation, we shall search for insights into the history and contemporary meanings of this vital cultural practice.
The course is intended for everyone interested in the history of photography and portraiture and in the practice of photography. It does not require previous photographic experience, and students can use any digital device – including mobile phones – as their camera; images will be outputted for display as inkjet prints or will be projected.
