Nowadays we are surrounded by the digital and pixels. Virtuality and reality have never been so close. The photographer makes the distinction between the two. FIlmmakers and photographers are light and shadow sculptors. The chief cameraman is essential in the end product of a film. During this workshop, we will study Henri Alekan, who was a director of photography for many directors (Cocteau, Hitchcock, Wenders). The studio Harcourt were inspired by its work. The students photos will be assessed during the exhibition thanks to a form.
