The Workshop

Five days of immersion at Domaine de Cazenac. We will photograph and stay on-site in the heart of the Château de Cazenac, which dates back to the 14th and 16th centuries and overlooks the Dordogne Valley. Equipped with both digital and film labs, this location will allow for the development of a personal photographic practice focused on revealing the 'spirit of a place.' All shooting will be conducted either within the château, its outbuildings, or the surrounding countryside.

Participants will be challenged to create a small, artistic, and personal series of 6 to 8 photos of this magical place. The uniqueness of this five-day workshop also includes a focus on printing, with the opportunity to learn black-and-white film printing for those who bring a film camera and monochrome films. Ultimately, three photos per participant will be printed in 30x40 cm format and given to the participants.

Lunches and dinners will be enjoyed together, providing moments for exchange and discussion. Gastronomy is one of the Domaine's highlights, as the Château is also known for its kitchens, which regularly host local chefs and culinary art trainees.
