An exciting journey through the spaces of Arles, an itinerary where everyone can develop a series by enjoying the amazing light of Indian summer. The trips will offer an opportunity to address some technical aspects, especially with respect to managing light.
The goal will also be to work on completing a coherent, personal set of photographs with a focus on distance, aesthetic choices and relationships between the images.
The excursions will alternate with time devoted to editing, building a point of view and discussions so that everyone can go back into the field armed with a guiding principle.
THE WORKSHOP IS HELD IN FRENCH
