This weekend workshop in digital photography is motivated by the growing sophistication of cameras and the wide variety of accessories and lighting devices available.

Through a series of practical exercises, Alain Lefort will propose different artistic and technical strategies using a variety of equipment. The workshop will adopt a creative and participatory approach, allowing participants to experiment freely in small teams. Participants are invited to bring their own cameras and perhaps even objects and accessories with which to experiment. We invite you to express your wishes for this workshop on the registration form.

For the week following the workshop, the photography studio will remain set up and available to participants who become members of the organization!
