At the Edge of Portraiture with Mike Belleme

January 12th, Tuesdays at 6 pm - Group is Full

What exactly is or isn’t a portrait? Definitions are only important for the sake of mutual understanding, so in this group, we will create a definition of our own. Once we decide what a portrait is we will make and share work that is just at the outer bounds of that definition. If you think about someone then make a picture, could that be a portrait of them regardless of whether or not they are in the frame? Together we will make work around themes of boundaries from the very outer boundary of a genre.

Mike Belleme is a freelance photographer based in Asheville, North Carolina. His work ranges from long-form documentary to assignment based editorial, photojournalism and portraiture. His practice involves photographing from a space of emotional availability and vulnerability and exploring themes involving connection and disconnection from that space. Belleme is a regular contributor to The New York Times and other clients include National Geographic, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, New York Times Magazine, Google, Esquire, Outside Magazine, Fortune, Propublica, and NPR.
