"In any Intimacy" Saturday 12 May - Thursday 17 May
Who has never dreamt of being in an intimate place without being seen ?
Who has never dreamt of being the spy of a personal scene ?
How, from a photo taken at the beginning, to give the feeling that your model has forgotten you and that your image is nothing but a stolen instant ?
Marc Dubord
"Anonymus" Sunday 13 May - Saturday 19 May
The training session is based on the idea of the "anonymous" nude (Anonymus) a tribute paid to former pictures exchanged under the counter.
Participants of all levels will be able to make their own, the different lighting methods used by the training master in a scenery brought up for the event.
On the internet, some people call that style "dubordélisation(messing around) " quite a program in just one single word !

"Flesh and body / Chair Corps" Sunday, May 13th - Saturday, May 19th.
When staging a body you get the opportunity to achieve some sort of gentleness and intimacy in the images without falling into an improper realism. To reveal the unique beauty of each body.
Such a pictorial distance allows to highlight the subject's timelessness and to propose images close to the Flemish painting universe…
How to approach the choice of style, staging, daylight and more particularly, how to manage the collaboration between the model and the photographer : all such themes will be addressed during the training session.

"Collage time" Sunday 13 May - Thursday 17 May
The training session will bring together three or four persons willing to understand collage as a relaxing moment bringing an opportunity for encounters and artistic creativity.
We will start by a few minutes of relaxation and listening around the theme.
Then, in such a frame of mind, we will start searching for the pictures, the matters, the colours likely to best express the emotion that we feel.
At last, for the last step, the collage harmonisation will allow you to express your artistic and aesthetic feeling together with your creativity. For the training session, it is recommended to come with a canvas no larger than a 40x40cm size, with magazines, papers, newspapers, cardboard and all that is inspiring you.
Do not bring glue, I will see to that.

Franck Olivas
"Freestyle imposed figure" Saturday 19 May - Sunday 20 May
Franck Olivas will achieve with his trainees a new « photochoregraphic » performance project .
After the definition of the artistic project, the setting up of the lighting and photographic equipment, the adjustments and measure-taking will allow everyone to approach the major theoretical and practical lines of studio photography.
The second phase will consist in proposing to the partner dancer a staging idea and make her achieve her improvisation. Each trainee will be able to shoot his/her own photographies of the ephemereal act under the previously dictated conditions.
Finally, the images will be gathered and presented for choice in the perspective of creating a « collective » slide show of the performance.
