This exciting course will help participants sharpen their eye and draw the outlines of a personal photographic language.
Ljubisa Danilovic will talk about his experiences, the relationship between photographer and photography and each participant’s goals, sensibilities, obsessions, pleasures and doubts.
The aim will be to realize a project, precising intentions, building a guideline. The goal will be to make a step beyond one's photography practice, during the workshop but also in a long term approach.
Every day, participants will receive guidance in their approach to the subjects, which they will have chosen based on their first impressions. They can rely on locations and a network of local structures established by the Rencontres d'Arles.
Daily editing sessions will help them narrow down their goals and make various kinds of choices, especially aesthetic and technical ones. Once they are clearly defined, other factors will guide how participants capture those around them, fleshing out a narrative thread.
The approach will then consist of coming out of a photography envisaged in a unitary way in order to fully enter a photographic narrative and explore the richeness of this specific practice that is author photography.
LJUBISA DANILOVIC
Ljubisa Danilovic est photographe et réalisateur. Il est l'auteur de quatre livres (Avoir vingt ans à Belgrade, le Désert russe, Éléphant et la Lune de Payne) qui chacun à leur manière, explorent la transposition d'un état émotionnel sur un territoire. Ses projets ont souvent une base documentaire sur laquelle il s’appui pour affirmer sa subjectivité.
Il est également réalisateur de films documentaires et multimédia (Arte, Fondation Abbé Pierre, Médecins du Monde) et est ambassadeur de la marque Fujifilm.
Il expose cet été Georgia : une histoire de migrations à la Fondation Manuel Rivera Ortiz à Arles, jusqu'au 29 septembre.
