Through three works in the special exhibition Artists as Art: Photographic Portraits, Frank Saunders, Photographer and VMFA Studio School Administrative Assistant, explores how photographic technology and changing aesthetics influenced the evolution of photographic portraiture in the 20th century. The talk moves from the formal studio portrait, to on-location, and finally to the more casual snapshot.
