This Thursday: Toronto Star Photographers Discuss the Power of the Portrait
Join us in the atrium at the Toronto Reference Library this Thursday, June 23 at 7 p.m. for a lively conversation with Toronto Star photojournalists about the enduring power of the portrait.
Award-winning Toronto Star photographers Steve Russell, Melissa Renwick and Tony Bock will be joined by moderator Richard Lautens. The panel will share their favourite portraits – and the stories behind them – and offer tips and advice to aspiring photojournalists.
What makes for a compelling portrait? How can you capture something new or unexpected in a familiar face? Why do some portraits connect so deeply with viewers? Can a single face tell a whole story?
