Welcome back. To celebrate reaching the 100th episode of the podcast, I collaborated with the team at the International Centre of Photography in New York City, to host a one day salon. My motivation was to gather the community together in person and start talking about where we stand in photography. Titled, <a href="https://www.icp.org/events/icp-x-messy-truth-between-two-worlds-photographys-unfixed-future" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Between Two Worlds</a>, the salon was an attempt to describe the feeling of existing in two image worlds, the one we think we know, and the new one emerging. We can sense that this new image world operates differently to the one we were socialised in—and yet it’s unclear exactly how.Before you dive in, I wanted to share what I told the audience at the salon - there are no tidy or easy answers here. In fact my expectation is that these conversations will involve a lot of complexity and contradiction, but holding space for, and embracing this chaos, is in my opinion, the urgent work that needs to be done.&nbsp;In this session On Portraiture, I was joined by Avion Pearce, Caroline Tompkins and Alexander Coggin. Three fascinating photographers, each with their own distinct approach to imaging people, and yet their strategies overlap and intersect in different ways.&nbsp;Throughout history, Portraiture has played a critical role in how we understand people and ourselves, revealing a myriad of ideas about the maker and the sitter. In an era where identities and communities are yet again being erased or reduced, Portraiture feels particularly pertinent to me right now.&nbsp;Projects mentioned:Caroline Tompkins - <a href="https://palmstudios.co.uk/product/bedfellow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bedfellow</a>Avion Pearce - <a href="https://www.aviavion.com/new-gallery-89" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In The Hours Before Dawn</a>Alexander Coggin - <a href="https://www.itsnicethat.com/features/alexander-coggin-michael-norton-mike-photography-in-conversation-140224" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Micheal</a>Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cahlinetompkins/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Caroline</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/avionpearce/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Avion</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alexandercoggin/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alexander</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gemfletcher/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gem </a>on Instagram.
