These two days will be guided by the process of thinking about and picturing a photograph before actually making it. Staging a person, object or oneself will be some of the avenues explored every day. The preparations could be precise and painstaking or, on the contrary, instinctive and spontaneous, simply guided by a preconceived idea.
The workshop is held in French
