Denis ROUVRE

A SHOOTING WITH...

For three exceptional half-days, Denis Rouvre will help participants in their reflection and portrait work.
The first day will focus on discussing a selection of work brought in by the participants as well as some of the signature projects Mr. Rouvre has completed in recent years.
Then the workshop will continue with a shooting session during which participants experiment with their relationship to the person photographed and lighting skills. Advice, tips, know-how and technical principles will guide this session.
The next morning will largely focus on selecting from the photographs made and continuing the discussions begun the day before.
