The Portrait Project!
A ROUND-ROBIN, LUCK-OF-THE-DRAW, PHOTO SHOOT-OFF
A New Participatory Exercise
So here's the idea:
Everyone interested in participating sends me a private message with their name and contact info (Cell Number and Email address).
When everyone's names are in I start drawing pairs of names.
Each pair arrange to meet within two weeks, at a place and time convenient to both to create a portrait of each other.
This can be on location, in studio, at home, where ever, it's your choice.
You can approach this like Avedon or Leibovitz shooting a magazine cover or you can approach this like a corporate headshot for an annual report.
It doesn't matter what equipment the photographer chooses to use or not use. This is a creative exercise in artistic expression not a contest. No rules, no judging.
You can begin submitting your names to me now via PM. Please make sure you include your Name, Cell number and email address.
The Deadline to enter is Friday January 30th. Names will be drawn, matches will be made and contact info for your "partner" will be emailed to you.
When all portraits are complete we'll post them in their own gallery and each photographer will have the opportunity to explain what decisions they made to achieve the final portrait.
So, who's in?

I wish I could take credit for this idea, it was posted on another forum I frequent and thought it would be a fun thing to do here.

If anyone will be in NOLA during that time frame you can count me in, otherwise I'll have to pass.

We are up to 8 people so far! With any luck, we will get this thing started early? I'll keep this thread open until Friday, Jan 30th. The Pair-ups will be sent out at that time. If this works out as planned, we can just keep doing it. Re-drawing names etc...
