I am a photographer and I organize small-group photo trips, with 6 to 8 participants, in France and abroad (Venice, Paris, Belle-Île-en-Mer, and many other destinations). These stays are above all moments of sharing, designed to pass on my passion for photography in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
Beyond the simple pleasure of traveling and photographing, photo trips are a true pause—a chance to slow down. Time to learn to see differently, to observe the light, and to compose an image. We explore various approaches such as long exposure, multiple exposure, ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), and creative photography, always through hands-on practice in the field.
Whatever the equipment used, the goal is to learn how to move beyond automatic mode. Understanding the settings and mastering exposure and shooting parameters not only helps you better understand how your camera works, but also builds confidence and technical control, allowing you to create images with intention and awareness.
From an aesthetic perspective, everyone develops their own sensitivity and visual voice. I nevertheless offer essential tools and insights: understanding shapes and visual weight, leading lines, balance, composition—fundamental elements that strengthen the visual impact of a photograph while fully respecting each person’s creativity.
Finally, these trips are also an opportunity to step back and reflect on one’s images, as well as to get introduced to post-processing. I guide participants through simple and effective editing techniques to enhance their photographs without altering their essence, helping them refine and assert their personal style.
