Marguerite Bornhauser will meticulously accompany the participants on this quest in defining a unique style. Observing, identifying and capturing will be the first steps in a process that will become more precise and structured in order to turn a succession of images into a personal photographic language. Colors, forms, gestures, lights, a face, an atmosphere, a gaze, objects, a thread, shadows, a perspective, a texture, skin are elements that, articulated, rhythmic, put into relationships with each other, will serve as words to compose a poetry of everyday life, a sublimated daily life. The exchange of points of view, ideas and experiments, trust and selection sessions will punctuate the process.
On the last day, this exciting journey will culminate in an exhibition of a personal and sensitive series.
