Newsletter

The Portrait Place newsletter is produced and written by Geoffrey K. Oram.  Click on the below links to open the pdf file or scroll down to see the newsletters.  When you read the Portrait Place newsletter you will find a wide variety of topics that in some way reference portraiture.  Mr. Oram has no contraints, and will write about education, art, death, politics, trends, business, and any other portraiture topic that I regard as useful.  The articles are designed for a general audience, not an academic one.  To help the reader, Mr. Oram includes additional readings and resources for further research and study.  The citations are  more of the curated readings but may include formal references.  Citations are useful as a starting point in doing more formal academic research.  I have found that many articles about photography and portraiture have no such citations which I find not useful.  Most citations includes internet links, which are up to date as of published date.
