Open Call: VII Masterclass Arles!

The VII Academy is renovating Le Grenier on the banks of the Rhone River in Arles, France. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this former provincial capital of Rome and home of Van Gogh is the location of the world’s leading festival of photography, Les Rencontres de la Photographie, as well as the French National School of Photography and the Luma Foundation.

The VII Masterclass is one of the most ambitious and exhaustive training programs available. It aims to develop and consolidate new talent in documentary photography and photojournalism over a period of six months. It is structured around three seminars with workshop sessions and multiple one-on-one online interactions woven in between. The principal objective of this Masterclass is to allow time for progress to develop, and for the long-term structure to have a lasting contribution to your professional training. 

After successful editions in Milano, Berlin, Warsaw, Barcelona, and one fully online during the pandemic, we invite you to the VII Academy in Arles, France, where all three sessions will take place.
