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 teaching at different institutions, I am pleased to offer you drawing lessons in my workshop, dedicated 100% 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 a taste for drawing and start to scribble?

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. THE TRAINER From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

Photography - Understand your camera and use it!
Have you always wanted to take photos, you have probably even bought a reflex camera, but it is now gathering dust in a cupboard? Do you want to get started, but you don't know where to start? Then this course is for you! In this course, we will cover the basics of photography (ISO, shutter speed, aperture,...). The goal is to help you understand the technical basics, without it being too complicated either. More than anything, what matters to me is that you can take control of your camera, and then be able to really use it in the moments that matter to you. Depending on your needs, we can approach how to photograph a landscape, a person, etc., so that it is as close as possible to the expected result. The goal is to develop your eye over time, because in my opinion that is the best way to learn: by doing. Photographer for over 10 years, holder of a CFC, and self-employed since 2020, I am active in the field of weddings, portraits, landscape photography and concerts. In other words, reporting in all its forms. Capturing what is happening in front of me and transcribing it into photos, with my eye and my sensitivity, is a passion that has driven me for years, and it is what I am keen to pass on to you.

Photography on demand for beginners and enthusiasts
If you are at the beginning of your exploration of photography as one of your hobbies or a possible profession, you surely have many questions like these: How does my camera work? Is it worth learning photography? What type of equipment should I buy? My proposal is not a course in the strict sense of the word, but rather personalized mini workshops to respond to your particular concerns. Depending on the level you are at, we can explore the following topics: -Theory without mysteries -Re-knowing your camera -Finding inspiration (portrait, landscape, macro photography, etc.) -Fundamentals in lighting -Lightroom Basics -Photoshop Basics Before each session, you choose the topic you want to work on. In each session we will do a mix of theory and practice and you will have tasks to develop on your own and review in the next session. The final objective is that you have elements of judgment and objective criteria to decide what your path in photography is and how far you want to go.
