Join our Portraiture Workshops at ILHAM Gallery

Calling on all photographers wishing to delve deeper in making meaningful portrait studies, KLPA is offering 2 workshops run by Nadirah Zakariya and KLPA Director Steven Lee this coming September at ILHAM Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, during the exhibition of the 2019 winners :

1. Mother, Father by Son, Daughter

Experiential Family portraits. Concepts & Practice.

‘Dad’ by Lauren Forster, UK / 2019 Finalist 

Perhaps the most difficult of portraiture subjects are family members. Because of over-familiarity, personal circumstances or other barriers, we tend not to photograph our closest relations with the same attention or enthusiasm as strangers at times. In this workshop, we will examine through discussions to create concepts and storylines that develop into portrait studies of your parents and family members. Participants will plan and execute home portrait sessions based on the concepts and present them in Session 2 to the group.

Led by Nadirah Zakariya and Steven Lee

RM350 early bird (ends 31 July) / RM400

Max. 12 pax

Session 1 - Sunday 15 September, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm Session 2 - Sunday 22 September, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm ___

2. Experimental Self Portraits

The concept of the ‘self’ in auto-portraits has been the subject of many influential artists and photographers in modern times. The idea that one may ‘project’ many different personas through self-examination, artistic expressions and false identities with the self-portrait has allowed photographers like Cindy Sherman to create visionary projects that have achieved critical acclaim. This one-day fun workshop will enable each participant to break down the barrier of making challenging auto-portraits with the help and prompts from the other participants and facilitator. A digital camera and tripod (optional) required.

Led by Nadirah Zakariya

1 day - Sat 28, 11am to 5pm

RM100

Shanjhey Kumar Perumal & Jo Kukathas in conversation about the 'creative process' (kononnya) at @ilhamgallerykl. I liked Shanjhey though. He seemed unpretentious and had things to say that were not the same old same old stuff trotted out by most Malaysian creatives. #ilhamgallery #creativeprocess #jagat #instantcafe #jokukathas #shanjheykumarperumal
