Artistic Photograpphy
A unique opportunity to learn more about artistic photography with two masters.
Artistic photography is defined as a branch of photography that is inclined to creating a story where each element becomes a language. Those elements should be understood, thought carefully and be prepared. Artistic photography is a very strong way to express oneself and to deliver important messages.
If most photography teachings tend to accentuate the photographer's work, we usually forget how the model is key. It is not just about looking pretty, but how to use the movement and the expressions to say something, which constitutes a real art in itself. From directing the model to letting the magical space of creation happen, there is a long way to understand the importance of the "moment".
Rakesh
Rakesh is specialized in commercial photography, working between India and Canada for many years. Over the years he built up an artistic body of work through collaborations with many models.
During this day, Rakesh will be here to speak about his work, how to make a living out of photography and assist the photographers throughout the day.
Phylactère
Phylactère is an artistic model and photographer. She is also a writer and anthropologist, therefore she uses her multiple backgrounds to approach photography as an analysis of one given culture. Phylactère teaches models and photographs throughout the world.
During the workshop day, Phylactère will present her self-portrait work, speak about the impact of a photograph, how to create meaning in an image, and will also discuss what is "artistic nude".
