During these 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 players, but also more broadly the participants’ photography.

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. The first sessions will focus on each one relatively separately, setting out certain preferences, experimenting with new distances and imagining fresh approaches.

Participants in this exceptional course will visit a wide range of places every day to tell a story oscillating between the real and the imaginary.
Their explorations will converge on the Rhône in Arles, the Camargue and nearby villages, where the multifaceted river will be a pretext to experiment with photography.

This exciting five-day course aims to help participants improve their portrait skills. It will be based on constructive, helpful discussions but sometimes they will need to leave their "comfort zone" to break habits and experiment with new things.

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.

Claudine Doury's workshop is about using reality in the service of fiction. It will involve thinking about ways of interacting with reality in order to tell a story.

Participants will be asked to compose a fictional narrative based on their own way of seeing things and their interests and obsessions, using natural surroundings and the spirit of the place.

In this exciting five-day course, Jane Evelyn Atwood leads participants in making a personal series—a stimulating experience in which they spell out their desires, explore a theme without getting lost in it and skillfully select their own photographs to tell a story. The course takes a learning-by-doing approach: participants can identify aspects they need to develop and deepen by enthusiastically, sincerely discussing the photographs taken each day.

This portrait workshop will focus on the practical, very concrete aspects inherent to any project.

This workshop aims to help participants create a coherent body of work with the help of Julien Pebrel's wise advice. They will focus on a specific space to make a portrait. Each will choose, depending on his or her wishes, past experiences and a place to explore: a district, a street, a quay, a monument, a stadium, a building, a park, a wasteland... the playground will have very diverse aspects.

The quest will gradually become more personal and inward-looking in these repetitive alternations, contrasts and different atmospheres. Participants will be asked to dig deep down within themselves and find a common denominator based on their sensations and feelings in order to connect everyday experiences to one another, working on what characterizes their gaze, accompanying the sensibility that dictates distances, obsessions and detours.
