Creative courses > Photography > France
The Aim is to Develop and Encourage in practical ways your Photographic response, visual knowledge, sensitivity and judgement. As you photograph on location you will learn & practice strategies for making photographs which tell stories, portraits which go beyond the surface and learn to take the most from 'chance' encounters.
Never an avalanche of technical information, Workshop Feedback is when appropriate throughout the week and directed towards developing your photography, adding to your technical knowledge and skill - where it supports and clarifies your intention. And discovery, whether using the camera on location or on the computer with Photoshop. Everyone will also have a personal sit down talk concerned with their individual needs and with your new photographs.
The words of a previous student may help you to get a feel for what you will learn should you choose to spend a week in Provence:??
"On my return, I felt every mile I had covered was worth it, my morale and self confidence was very much higher....The workshop opened my eyes to the world around me. For some subjects; Reportage, Contemporary photography, there were not enough hours in the day, every waking hour was filled.... There were very stimulating discussions of ideas , in good company, with good food and wine and in a magical area of France. I took away printing skills and a new approach to my photography. I hope to return for future workshops".?Brenda Palmer LRPS, Southampton, UK.
For more student comment see my web site linked from the bottom of the page.?? By the end of the week you can expect to feel rejuvenated. To have a lot of work you can share, uncovered ideas in images - which you can continue to develop at home. For those who wish, be putting together a new portfolio.

Eating is of course a great pleasure in France. Generally we eat together on location I recommend a mixture of picnics, cafes and reasonably priced restaurants.About the local area:
Provence is a country studded with myth and magic, the sites of miracles, of ancient battles between virtue and infamy. Places which invite and inspire response. With good reason Provence has a tradition of attracting writers, poets, painters and now photographers. Discover the Provence of Legend, of fairy tale. However dream-like; the places remain the same... the legends started here. Discover street photography, portraiture, work in cafes and markets, and of course sunlight from the horizontal to High-noon, from liquid gold to the purple haze in the mountains as the sun sets, air perfumed with herbs of Provence, they all help.How to Get Here:
You can be collected and returned to the train station in Aix-en-Provence, the new TGV station, or Marseille airport.Contact Photography courses in Provence, France
