Photographic Workshop: the black and white portrait

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
How to best use the light available to bring a face in black and white?
How to understand his subject and especially express what we want about this subject?

Here are some examples of questions that will be addressed during this workshop at my studio located in Lausanne, Switzerland.

This one day Photographic Workshop will allow you to deepen your technical and cultural knowledge on the history of Portrait in Photography.

There will be sessions in studio, but also in natural light and collective reflections on the theme of portraiture.

By renouncing the information given by color, the black and white portrait becomes abstract, which means that it is brought back to the essential, the gaze concentrating on the subject itself. Everything will be restored by a range of gray

The participants are of course invited to take with them some examples of their production during the workshop
How the day went:
9h-10h30: presentation and history of the portrait in black and white since the 19th century
10h30-13h: Exlication of my technique of Shooting in studio with practical exercise.
13h-14h: lunch on site not provided
14h-17h: shooting studio and outdoor with collective thoughts on the work of each.

Free artistic drawing workshops for children
Holder of a Master in Fine Arts from the University of Porto, I am passionate about drawing. With a great experience in illustration, I have collaborated in the development of several children's books and carried out numerous exhibitions in Switzerland, Portugal and Spain. Having experience in teaching at different institutions, I am pleased to offer drawing lessons in my studio, 100% dedicated to us little artists! Drawing is not only a fun activity or a playful occupation to pass the time, but it is also essential for arousing curiosity, helping in cognitive development, motor coordination and improving fine motor coordination. The practice of drawing, whatever the age of the child, promotes the affirmation of the personality, the development of the imagination and the expression of emotions. Drawing lessons are also an interesting complement to the art education provided at school and could be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the relationship between art and the child, giving him the opportunity to develop his artistic talent and creative spirit. Did you know that from the age of 18, babies develop their taste for drawing and start to doodle?

CINEMA, ACTING, IMPROVISATION WORKSHOPS - - -
These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting. Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive. The objective of this training is to be able to: - Analyze and dissect a text - Create, develop and embody a character - Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play - Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity (...) Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. - As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Mastering Photography projects in Austria and beyond, Visual Storytelling, Discover funding, and finding the right audience for your works!
How do I start a photo project? How do I make a good edit? How do I make an exhibition? How do I make a photo book? How do I prepare/register for a grant? The best way to learn is by doing. My method of teaching is based on what the student requires and wants to learn. Together we look at what you want to learn or what you want to experiment in. These can be the technical aspects of photography, the structure of a project, or, for example, the making of a photo book. It is therefore important to tailor the lessons to the student's goal. An interesting perk is that I have a network of photographers and designers who might also come in handy. Don't have a photo project in mind yet? Then I have very nice assignments that can inspire you to find your way as a photographer. About me: I am a photographer who graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. I also used to teach photography in both the bachelor's and master's programs at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. I have extensive experience in curating exhibitions and creating photography projects and exhibitions as you can see from my CV below. Additionally, I am a co-founder of Baobab Magazine, where we collaborate with students to produce a photography magazine. Through this venture, I have gained valuable experience in organizing exhibitions, workshops, and publications.
