The VII Foundation presents a unique and rare opportunity to engage with some of its leading photographers and special guest and friend, James Nachtwey, this summer in Arles, France. The workshops will be for English speakers.
VII Photo contributing photographers Eric Bouvet, Philip Blenkinsop, Ashley Gilbertson, Ed Kashi, Ilvy Njiokiktjien, Daniel Schwartz and Danny Wilcox Frazier will be running a series of three-day and half-day workshops that teach some of the fundamentals of photographic practice at The VII Foundation’s French headquarters in the heart of the city. These workshops will be an enriching and transformative experience for photographers of all levels, offering a rare chance to learn from some of the most respected names in the industry as the world’s pre-eminent photo festival spills out on to the streets around you.
Participants of all the workshops will work closely with the VII Photo photographers in a dynamic setting as the city prepares itself for the Rencontres d’Arles Photo Festival which opens the same weekend. All students will have the opportunity to attend a private group session with James Nachtwey where he will discuss his approach to assignments, using a well-known body of work as a case study, and answer questions during a Q&A session. The program will conclude with a small reception exclusively for the workshop participants, where you can engage and network with all of the teachers as well as visiting VII Photo photographers and their friends from the profession who are in the city for the festival.

The workshops are suitable for all skill levels. You must bring your own equipment suitable for the workshop; an equipment list will be provided before it starts.
