「肖像攝影的力量／權力的肖像」 . 近年，香港出現了不少有關運動的肖像攝影作品系列，如陳啟駿的《凝視》、范家朗的《十八港孩》、高仲明的《港傷》、林亦非的《香港：撕裂都市》，甚至是馬琼珠以人像抓拍再加工的《去年》系列，攝影師和藝術家對人物選取或呈現手法有同有異，然而都是香港歷史中非常重要的社會影像檔案。 . 是次WMA Open講座系列，名為「肖像攝影的力量／權力的肖像」，由周佩霞主持，邀請以上五位攝影師和藝術家，分享他們創作肖像系列的動機、取捨和反思。當中包括肖像攝影的現與隱、即時性與延擱、個體與集體的辯證關係等問題。透過對話，我們希望從中窺探這些個別的肖像系列，如何共同素描社會當下的權力版圖。 . 講座將以廣東話在Facebook進行，並於我們的YouTube進行英文即時傳譯：https://youtu.be/tV9LOFk1zDA . 有關講座詳情：https://bit.ly/3iUViRV 日期：14/07/2020 時間：7:00 - 9:00pm (網上直播) . 講者簡介 (依英文姓氏順序) . 陳啟駿 陳啟駿MC 現為香港理工大學及香港知專設計學院兼任講師。作品入選多個國際攝影節及攝影獎，包括平遙國際攝影展、韓國東港國際攝影節、京都國際攝影節及哈蘇年度攝影師大獎、三影堂攝影獎和WMA大師攝影獎。2014年獲香港藝術發展局頒發獎學金，於倫敦傳播學院修讀碩士課程。作品為香港文化博物館收藏。 . 范家朗 范家朗2015年於香港大學二年級時開始其攝影旅程，為宿舍堂友和嘉賓拍攝人像。對「人」充滿好奇，鍾愛鑽研人類，喜讀人物訪談。畢業後為媒體和廣告擔任拍攝工作，同時進行個人創作。 . 高仲明 高仲明從事新聞攝影20年，一直關注的議題包括貧窮、無家者、少數族裔等。他憑《港傷》（2019）獲2020年索尼世界攝影大獎紀實類冠軍。高仲明亦是2012年WMA大師攝影獎「貧窮」得主。自2016年起，他成為香港樂施會的義務攝影師，拍攝該會不同地方的人道救援項目。 . 林亦非 林亦非的於攝影作品見於國際及本地媒體。作品《香港抗爭》獲得第77屆全球年度圖片獎「國內／國際新聞圖片故事組」的優秀獎，照片近日亦於2020年世界新聞攝影基金會的專題展覽「Be Water!

We will also discuss issues related to body archive, including visibility and invisibility, immediacy and deference, individuality and collectivity. Through a dialogue moderated by Carol Chow, the talk seeks to explore how these individual portrait series may shed light on the underlying power relations that shape our society. .
