+33(0)490 967 606
This intensive course will be largely based on shooting sessions under the expertise and guidance of Jérôme Bonnet.
The goal will be to skillfully deal with the person photographed and the surrounding space.
Mr. Bonnet will help participants set up the lighting conditions that will create a mood, shape the spaces and emphasize expressions. Based on editing and adjustments made with image processing software, they will choose equipment based on distance, lighting, framing, format, etc., drawing the outlines of their own photographic worlds.
All of these aspects will be at the service of an encounter: technical issues must not interfere with the photographer’s ability to direct a shooting session and bridge the distance often imposed by the person photographed.
The goal will be to create photographs that can work as a series, achieving coherence with a mood, aesthetic choices and personal distance. This approach could also be based on little touch-ups on photographs not directly belonging to the portrait genre.
