HALF-DAY WORKSHOP IN ARLES, FRANCE
MORNING OF TUESDAY, JULY 2, FROM 9 AM – 2 PM
200 US DOLLARS PER PERSON
In 2023, The VII Foundation Campus Arles marked its inauguration with Blenkinsop’s phantasmagoric exhibition, “All Tomorrow’s Phantoms”, in which he presented his interpretation of the Camargue Delta, the vast wetlands that stretch from Arles to the Mediterranean.
“Using the movement present in the landscape, as well as my own, was of the utmost importance in successfully conveying the ethereal nature of the scenes that I encountered and presenting the viewer with an interpretation of the landscape and its denizens which faithfully mirrored my own feelings.”
In this half-day (6 hour) workshop you will travel by bus (30 minutes) to the Parc Ornithologique at Pont Gau in the Camargue Delta to spend a few hours photographing; here Philip will share with you his approach and his techniques, with live demonstrations in an environment which will allow you to explore and experiment under his guidance.
Returning to Arles for lunch, Philip will help you to select your most successful images from the morning for discussion and feedback.
The aim of this workshop is to demystify the process of capturing and creating movement and to provide you with the knowledge and the desire to continue experimenting.
The price for this half-day workshop includes access to a closed lecture with James Nachtwey and a private reception on the evening of Sunday, June 30, at the Alexandra Boulat Campus.
