Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of an innovative arts-based analysis process within the framework of portraiture methodology. The paper provides an example of how to incorporate multi-modal forms of analysis within the portraiture framework and offers a fluid, qualitative "recipe" for researchers interested in using portraiture methodology.


Design/methodology/approach
The study described in this paper explores vulnerability and resilience in teaching, using poetry and visual art as integrated elements of the portraiture process. Portraiture is a qualitative, feminist, artistic methodology that draws from ethnography and phenomenology to describe, understand and interpret complex human experiences.


Findings
This research resulted in the methodological development of three stages of analysis within the portraiture process: drafting vignettes, poetic expression and artistic expression. These stages of data analysis highlight the methodological richness of portraiture and center the researcher's engagement in creative, intuitive and associative processes.


Research limitations/implications
This study contributes to existing scholarship that extends portraiture methodology by including additional aesthetic elements and offers a roadmap for what a multi-modal, arts-based analysis process might look like within the portraiture framework.


Originality/value
The study presented in this paper serves as an example of qualitative research that expands methodological boundaries and centers the role of intuition, association and creativity in research. This work serves as a unique and important contribution to the portraiture literature, offering a provocative roadmap for researchers who are drawn to portraiture as an appropriate methodology to explore their inquiry.

Abstract
This article investigates the qualities of moving image portraiture that also illuminate the wider genre of photographic portraiture. The performance of portrait subjects over time brings attention to the triangulation of demand generated through the interaction of artist, subject, and viewer. Serial and group moving image portraiture engages with the power of global culture industries by imbricating these regimes with individual expression and personal desire. This article considers work by Candice Breitz, Rineke Dijkstra, Feng Feng, and Thomas Struth. This recent portraiture is framed by two reference points: Andy Warhol's Screen Tests from the mid-1960s and a series of television station identifications that show the faces of viewers, the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) Face IDs. The Screen Tests have been chosen as seminal works that continue to have a significant impact on the genre. The SBS Face IDs, by contrast, have been selected because they operate at the limit of duration and subject presence.
