Whether the light is natural or artificial, the participants will explore various aspects of the photographic portrait through the experimentation of diverse technical devices and shooting conditions. Once these experimentations done, the work will consist for the participants on defining precisely their own esthetical and technical choices in order to tend towards a more personal approach.
