Photographic Workshop: the black and white portrait
31.06 € /h
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.

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.

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?

Photography is a very powerful vehicle, visually and emotionally.
In order not to disturb what is important in the image, it is necessary to choose the framing and the colors wisely.
Even if it means retouching, reframing afterwards, there is first of all what we want to say and the reflection on the moment, quick and efficient to know.

You should not stimulate the eye by too much information, and master the technique.

In this, knowing the basics and rudiments for a very effective shot is important.

Through my sculpture classes, develop your personal project and explore many materials such as clay, stone, plaster, cellular concrete, wax, resins, casting and many others. In a warm and sharing atmosphere, you will express your creativity and tame the material.
I will accompany you in the construction of your artistic project within a small group of 4 to 8 people. This intimate format will provide you with the ideal space to fully express your creativity and explore your inner emotions.
In addition to the personal project, each course will include a time devoted either to the presentation of a sculptor or to a technical exercise.
Thanks to a technical, educational and fun approach, you will have a fulfilling experience that will allow you to surpass yourself and progress after each lesson.
Let your hands speak through artistic language! It’s always a beautiful discovery.

Program:
I will accompany you in the definition and construction of your personal project, of what you wish to express formally but also in the concept and emotion that you wish to translate. Build coherent shapes and volumes. Increase the strength and power of your future works.
What characterizes my courses is on one hand the technical aspect and a great knowledge of all these materials and on the other a project-oriented approach. You will therefore also be able to learn how to make molds, cast wax, assembly, and realize all your creative ideas.
We will also master the finishes, textures, sanding, patinas, waxes, pigments, acrylics, metallic imitations and collages in order to give your sculpture a personal finish.
