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.
