PORTRAIT: EXPLORE, SPECIFY, TELL 
Participants will spend two months learning about portrait photography’s range of possibilities, the definition of their choices, distance, lighting and the relationship to the other. Several hands-on experiments, a supportive atmosphere and the sharing of experience will enrich their aesthetic, technical and creative orientations.

JANE EVELYN ATWOOD
EXPLORING WITHOUT GETTING LOST
Whatever the photographs’ nature—sensitive and rooted in reality or more conceptual and based on a place, person or fact—consistency, dialogue between the images and a search for meaning will be at the heart of the discussion and the focus of attention.

JÉRÔME BONNET
PORTRAIT : CREATING A WORLD
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. 

APRIL 27 — 30 
4 DAYS

YANN RABANIER
PORTRAIT: THE FIELD OF POSSIBILITIES
This exciting course focuses on practice, a personal search and simple, sincere, open, adapted discussions allowing everybody to find his or her own portrait-making method. Yann Rabanier will offer three main areas to work on: light, framing and the model’s direction. 

CLAUDINE DOURY
AN INTIMATE VISION OF THE WORLD
The main goal of this four-day course will be to create a series based on each participant’s sensibility and desires. In order to achieve it, Claudine Doury will offer a simple method based mainly on experimentation and the freedom to try new things.

MAY 10 — 13 
4 DAYS

VEE SPEERS
CREATING A PERSONAL LANGUAGE
Whether for a portrait, a staged scene or any other approach, emotion and instinct will at first guide photographing alongside Vee Speers. The course will focus on the basics: interacting, choosing a distance and taking light into account.

PATRICK LE BESCONT
REALIZE A BOOK
This four-day course will tackle every aspect of making a photography book. By the time it’s over, participants will have created their own based on images, photographs, texts, etc. that they bring with them and on the extensive experience of Patrick Le Bescont.

MAY 17 — 21
5 DAYS

PAULO NOZOLINO
DOWN TO THE BONE
It is a workshop for the unsure, the poets, the dreamers, all of those who feel they don’t fit in the system! During the five day experience we will discuss content rather than form and how to make a coherent statement through sequencing for an exhibition or a book.

LAURENCE LEBLANC
WITH A TOUCH OF POETRY
The participants’ sensitivity, curiosity and questions will guide them in their explorations, spinning out a thread and following wherever it leads them in order to weave a story. Ms. Leblanc will help them with editing in order to narrow down their approach and find running themes.
