France Alumni: kick-off workshop of the Image Club

Students, Researcher

On July 16, Campus France and the France Alumni team hosted the first gathering of the Image Club, moderated by Brazilian alum Ana Godeiro

Campus France’s offices in Paris were the setting for the inaugural workshop of France Alumni’s new Image Club on July 16. The event was moderated by Ana Godeiro, an alumna from Brazil. The club was officially launched at Campus France on June 20, on the occasion of an exhibition of Godeiro’s photographs entitled Chère France, je t'embrasse (France, I love you!). The Image Club is a forum for personal exchanges and sharing about photography in all its dimensions (composition, vantage points, the basics of digital photography, etc.).

The workshop participants began by discussing, among other things, ...

the early days of photography
light
the 3 parameters that govern a photo’s exposure (f-stop, shutter speed, and film speed, or ISO)

Before moving on to practice...

Thanks to all the participants in this first workshop for your good humor and prescient advice. The countries represented were Algeria, Brazil, China, Cyprus, India, Mexico, Peru, and Tunisia.

Looking forward to the next gathering!
