1st day of Reportage portaiture course. It's a photography based course at the London College of Communication in the Elephant & Castle, London.
During the morning we (about 14 of us) were introduced to the concept of the Family Album, and in particular the work of Nan Goldin, Boris Mikalov, Paul Graham and Nicholas Nixon. What does reportage mean to each of us ? A little research in the college library in preparation for the afternoon session - each of us had to choose a photographer/ book and give a short presentation - proved useful. My choice was Robert Doisneau (book - Paris) and in particular the iconic photo - Le baiser de l'hotel de ville (1950).
