PIERRE DE VALLOMBREUSE
A SENSITIVE JOURNEY
Fabrice Courthial & Marie Couteux
stage@rencontres-arles.com
+33(0)490 967 606
After discussing everyone’s experiences and practice, Pierre de Vallombreuse and the participants will walk out into the field, following precise itineraries mixing periods, ambiances, highly urbanized spaces and wilder ones, all of them conducive to encounters or contemplation.
During the first two days, Arles will be the ideal playground to build a vision by working on a small personal series that will question the city, its spaces and its people, but also more broadly the participants’ photography. The city’s many heritage, cultural and architectural sites, the river and the contrasts between modernity and spaces frozen for decades will be avenues to explore and starting points for telling a story.
Shoots will be followed by precious editing time, making choices and finding a common thread. On day three, everyone will focus more precisely on the previously chosen avenues and on structuring relationships between the photographs during the selection process. After some additional shots, the last day will focus on a final selection that will be printed for a small, friendly presentation
PIERRE DE VALLOMBREUSE
Pierre de Vallombreuse attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris to become an illustrator but quickly turned to photography, which has brought him around the world for over 30 years. Since 1986, he has tirelessly borne witness to the lives of indigenous peoples on the five continents. He has built up a unique photographic archive of 43 ever-changing peoples, paying tribute to the world's precious diversity.
Mr. de Vallombreuse has also been secretary-general of the Association Anthropologie et Photographie created by Edgar Morin, Emmanuel Garrigues and Jean Malaurie. He has published 10 books and exhibited his work in museums, galleries and festivals, including the Rencontres d’Arles in 1988.
He works on a regular basis with major international magazines: Newsweek, El Mundo, El País, La Stampa, Le Monde, GEO, Réponses Photo, Figaro Magazine, L'Oeil de la Photographie and Camera International.
