Learn On-Location: With Digital or B&W Photography. We work at different times of day; crossing a variety of landscape from fresh water mountain streams, to salt lagoons in the Camargue, among ruins from Greek to the Middle Ages, in cafes and street photography...
While teaching Art & Design students, I became convinced that effective visual learning and constructive discovery come from Projects; that are fun, challenging, and offer practice which makes progress giving results we can see, think about and develop in productive and imaginative ways. Learning by doing and "See & Know", continue to be the guiding principles.
Provence has a tradition of attracting painters, writers, poets, and now photographers. Light, heat and tranquillity open the senses, and offer time to consider what the senses reveal. It is a country studded with sites from antiquity, of myth, magic, and miracles, of battles between virtue and infamy. All inspire and invite response.... Refresh yourself, your photography and enjoy Provence.
A practical search for What to Photograph & Why? Film or Digital, Project photography on location, darkroom, computer & critique sessions, finding a unique subject & approach.
