This workshop will involve the creation of a personal project. The aim is to take each participant well beyond the stage of making photographs and to explore the different forms and supports that can be used for a photo narrative. The challenge is twofold: to put together a coherent series of photos and to decide on the most suitable support for it, whether slide show, book, exhibition, or installation.

Philippe Guionie will help with the development of an idea and the definition of a subject, leaving participants to choose their genre (e.g., documentary portraiture, reportage, or self-portrait) according to their taste but also according to the genre's relevance to the chosen theme. Then the emphasis will be on going beyond people's usual approach, exploring different storytelling forms and making technical decisions (e.g., colour or b&w, format, distance, depth of focus, framing, texture) that will make sense of and give coherence to the work. The relationship between words and images will also be considered, in particular through writing a synopsis at the time of defining the subject and then, at the end of the process, when it comes to presenting the series.
