This question & answer style talk will provide you with an insight into the process of developing a creative photographic idea into a solid proposal, good enough to be commissioned and exhibited. Hosted by photographer Grace Lau and curator Professor Val Williams, this session will offer a very broad perspective.
Val Williams is Professor of the History and Culture of Photography at University of the Arts, London and Director of the Photography and the Archive Research Centre at the London College of Communication. She has curated numerous exhibitions, including the Martin Parr Retrospective at the Barbican in 2001 and How We Are at Tate Britain in 2007.
Grace Lau is a photographer, writer and lecturer. In 2005, the arts council funded Grace for her project to reconstruct a 19th century Chinese portrait studio in Hastings in which she recorded an archive of diverse 21st century 'types'. This is her response to 'exotic' portraits taken by 19th century European travellers to China.
Subsequently, this series of portraits was exhibited first at Photofusion in Brixton, then a selection was shown at the Tate Britain exhibition "How We Are: Photographing Britain" in 2007, before touring to Wales, Brighton and Hastings.
