I have known Bo Lutoslawski's work for thirty years. He is a photographer with a deep insight into people and character, an extraordinary honesty and a capacity to reveal the identity of his sitters. He engages with his sitters in a very powerful way as his work reveals. Many people would learn a great deal from his technical and psychological approach. I wish him well.

The Performance Photography

During the workshop, I will use the original photographs from my exhibition at South Bank, London as examples. This show was a portrait of a performance by the Opera Factory, from conception of the work to the opening night. I will also briefly touch on the importance of portraits when printed in related publications, like photographs of Glenda Jackson or Tom Stoppard.
