Photographic Workshop: the black and white portrait
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
How to best use the light available to bring a face in black and white?How to understand his subject and especially express what we want about this subject?
Here are some examples of questions that will be addressed during this workshop at my studio located in Lausanne, Switzerland.
This one day Photographic Workshop will allow you to deepen your technical and cultural knowledge on the history of Portrait in Photography.
There will be sessions in studio, but also in natural light and collective reflections on the theme of portraiture.
By renouncing the information given by color, the black and white portrait becomes abstract, which means that it is brought back to the essential, the gaze concentrating on the subject itself. Everything will be restored by a range of gray
The participants are of course invited to take with them some examples of their production during the workshop
How the day went:
9h-10h30: presentation and history of the portrait in black and white since the 19th century
10h30-13h: Exlication of my technique of Shooting in studio with practical exercise.
13h-14h: lunch on site not provided
14h-17h: shooting studio and outdoor with collective thoughts on the work of each.

Free artistic drawing workshops for children
Holder of a Master in Fine Arts from the University of Porto, I am passionate about drawing. With a great experience in illustration, I have collaborated in the development of several children's books and carried out numerous exhibitions in Switzerland, Portugal and Spain.
Having experience teaching at different institutions, I am pleased to offer you drawing lessons in my workshop, dedicated 100% to us little artists!
Drawing is not only a fun activity or a playful occupation to pass the time, but it is also essential for arousing curiosity, helping in cognitive development, motor coordination and improving fine motor coordination.
The practice of drawing, whatever the age of the child, promotes the affirmation of the personality, the development of the imagination and the expression of emotions.
Drawing lessons are also an interesting complement to the art education provided at school and could be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the relationship between art and the child, giving him the opportunity to develop his artistic talent and creative spirit.
Did you know that from the age of 18, babies develop a taste for drawing and start to scribble?

- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity
(...)
