Description

In this workshop, students will produce a cohesive
series of photographs on the theme of
self-as-subject. Student projects may include self
portraits (What counts as a portrait? What
constitutes the self?) as well as loose or
alternative interpretations of the theme, such as
work that explores the self through family
history. Discussion topics will include gesture
and expression, the gaze, beauty, narcissism
(actual and perceived), memory and time, and self
portrait methodology.
