While technology can connect us across oceans, we’re losing sight of what it means to have a conversation with a friend who truly knows us.
FaceTime aims to create moments of togetherness; a reminder of what it’s like to make eye contact, to feel a genuine smile, face to face. Life lived through a screen is almost a facsimile of life, not life itself.
Over a series of Portrait Sittings at Medicine Bakery, Birmingham, photographer Charisse Kenion will work with members of the community to create an exhibition to be displayed at Medicine this December.

STUDIO SESSIONS
Charisse is offering signature portraits as a fundraising effort for the solo exhibition in December. Proceeds will go towards exhibition costs, such as printing, transport, framing and installation. Fees for each portrait will be decided by you and the donation you commit. Your donation reserves your session, after which you will liaise with Charisse to find a time that suits you.
COST AND PAYMENT
Due to space restrictions, up to 2 people at one time are permitted to be shot in the studio at one time. Studio Sessions are donation-based, with a minimum of £10pp required to reserve a session. Donate here first, then book your reservation using the link below. Donation is due at the time of the scheduling by credit card or PayPal and is non-refundable. Sessions can be cancelled or rescheduled at any time.

• 20 minute session time
• 2-5 unique edits
