A unique photographic and human experience in an extra-ordinary location based on three major aspects of contemporary photography:

-personnal, creative, author photography

-editing / how to build a coherent series of photos

-the way to give one's own series of photos the most appropriate issue: book, exhibition, slideshow...

Located in the Cap Corse (at the Northern tip of the island) Fotograficasa is a place out of time combining the warmth of a family house equipped with all modern facilities (as well as professional material, computers, printing machines...) and a Renaissance palace lost amidst the Corsican maquis. Staying within the house during the time of the workshop, the participants   are treated as guests by the mentor Klavdij Sluban and the owners of the place Rita Scaglia and Pascal Dolméieux.

This total commitment to creation allows a rigourous yet fluid schedule dedicated to taking pictures, editing and finding the most appropriate way to show one's work on the last evening of the workshop.

Internationally acclaimed for his Black and White work, Klavdij Sluban also shares his experience with teenagers in jails and gives workshops and masterclasses all around the world.

In order to give this workshop a unique approach taking into acount the specificity of the house as well as the flabbergasting landscapes, K.Sluban visited the place prior to decide about the way the workshop will be run. Therefore this programme is tailor-made, taking into account local life habits, the ideal light of the month of June, meeting the shepherds and sailors friends to the family, the Cap Corse landscapes, daily excursions to explore places of very different kinds, such as « the Path of Customs Officers » running along the coast of the cape, the medieval villages of Pietracorbara and Canari linked by the so well-named Path of Lights, an asbestos mine where Tarkovsky coud have made Stalker, American palazzi, palaces of the 19th century in the neoclassic toscan style, monumental tombs, dramatic sea landscapes....

The week will be organised between  all of these various explorations where each participant will find a personal approach to express him or herself, sessions 'at home', where participants' daily work will be looked at, edited in group with proof prints spread all over a huge wooden table, as well as individual sessions with Klavdij Sluban, without forgetting one of the major local climaxes: the siesta.

All meals prepared with local ingredients will be shared in common.

Who can participate?

All levels accepted if passionate.

Opened from amateurs to professional photographers, from students to...professors.

K.Sluban's long experience helps each participate to find his/her own photographic language reflecting his/her inner self.
