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?

Connect with nature through photography
The camera has long since become my best ally when I go out into nature, and I no longer contemplate going without it. Capturing details, the light of the sunset, the inhabitants of the forest, or the immensity of the night sky is my way of being present and connecting with the environment that surrounds me. After working as a Northern Lights guide and photographer, I have noticed that quite a few people come with their cameras hoping to capture an aurora borealis, but without any prior experience in night photography. This art requires patience, technique and practice, especially when it comes to the Northern Lights where the light is constantly changing. It is because of this experience that I decided to open this service. Whether you are planning a trip, an outing into nature, or simply want to learn how to get the most out of your camera, I will be happy to help you. Do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

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.

If you have been using a camera or mobile phone for a long time or you have just bought or been given a new one and you have never dared to shoot in manual mode or you want to learn more or try new things, these classes are ideal for you. Together we will go over all the technical and narrative points so that you can get the most out of your camera and be able to express and document everything that attracts you and makes you think or reflect. In a didactic and playful way you will have the necessary tools to start creating more visually attractive images as you always wanted to do. You will start to see at another level and life will start to seem like a constant movie where everything happens around you. Why can't I create blur? How do I change the color of my photo? Why is my image grainy? How do I avoid a blurry image? But my photo didn't turn out well at all! We will solve these and many more questions together by learning basic and advanced techniques using fun exercises. Light measurement, movement control, focus and blur, color, composition, depth of focus, image quality, color temperature, contrast and much more will be some of the dozens of points to be covered. If you want to get started or would like to know more details or have any questions, you can contact me by writing me a message here
