A rare opportunity to do a photo workshop with Harry Gruyaert in Marseille

Harry Gruyaert is a pioneer of European colour photography. Since the 1970’s, Gruyaert has developed an extraordinarily poetic oeuvre of intensely complex images, captured on his travels in many parts of the world.

Gruyaert has a  dérive  sensibility, photographing portals into the multi-layered urban environment and we, the viewer, are seduced both inside and outside the experience of his images. In the introduction of his book, Between Worlds, the writer and curator, David Campany describes Gruyaert as, ‘the very embodiment of the speculative photographer, the itinerant observer, moving through the world with no greater or lesser purpose than to notice and picture it.’

Harry Gruyaert rarely conducts workshops; therefore these 5-days will be a rare opportunity to be taught and inspired by this highly influential photographer. Marseille is the vibrant location where participants will be encouraged to wander the streets and boulevards, visually absorb the rich diversity of this city, connecting to their unique “sense of place”, and allowing chance encounters to discover photographic possibilities.

The participants’ work will be projected at the end of the workshop at Loose Joints, an independent publishing house working with leading and emerging artists on contemporary approaches to photography in Marseille.

All international photo workshops are held and organized by ArtFotoMode, by director, Michael Grieve and Sarah Gray.
