Description
Making your own camera and taking pictures, how is it possible? Thanks to the pinhole camera, everyone can do it! Trainees will be invited to discover the beginnings of photography - the Camera Obscura - and will be able to experience the magic of developing in the dark.
This workshop allows you to enter a slow time, far from the frenetic production of images, to look at and compose with what surrounds us.
This course is intended for those who like to invent, make and experiment with their hands, without any prerequisites.
A workshop to simply understand how photographic shooting works: understand through experience.
Revisit the ancestor of the camera: the Camera Obscura and become aware of the technical evolution of photography.
Develop your creativity using a tool that you don't control everything with: learn to take advantage of mistakes.
Enter a slow rhythm of creation: observe, compose, tame the light.
Discover the magic of developing in the darkroom.
Create images with little equipment (a box, paper, light).
Develop your team spirit and a sense of collective work.
Discover contemporary artists who work with the pinhole camera.
