The meeting discussed my practical photographic portraiture as seen in previous posts:
- It was noted that Hardman's technical language had been observed during the making of some of these portraits.
- The meeting also addressed the issue of the difference between the 'Now' and 'Then' of when Hardman's portraits had been taken : differences within the purpose of the two archives were also discussed [Commercial v's Research]
- Do these two differences need to be taken into account ?
- Advice was offered to continue with current photographic work engaged with and to provide further examples for the forthcoming meeting scheduled for early May 2012.
- Advice was also offered to begin writing short texts to accompany the practice. These should attempt to try and explain and discuss the practice element of the project.
- One piece of text should be provided for the next meeting.
- The three separate stands of research should continue simultaneously:
1. Working within the archive using photography to document the archival process.
2. My own photographic portraiture.
3. Accompanying written work informed by historical and theoretical readings.
