This event is free, so don't hesitate to reserve your spot quickly and come shoot with us for a pure moment of conviviality and sharing through the beautiful streets of Arles.

Each participant is requested to arrive at the Commanderie Sainte Luce, 8 rue du grand Prieuré, 13200 Arles, 10 minutes before the photowalk begins.

The theme of the photowalk will be "ON THE SURFACE" as a nod to the theme of the Rencontres "Under the Surface".

Through this theme, we invite you to capture the textures, reflections, and visible details that make the beauty of urban scenes:

Textures and Materials:

Exploring different textures is at the heart of the theme “On the Surface”. Photographers are encouraged to capture varied surfaces such as stone, wood... Each material tells a unique story, and photography allows us to highlight these narratives through striking images.

Reflections and Shadows:

The play of shadow and light creates intriguing and artistic compositions. Reflections on windows, puddles, or even the Rhône passing through Arles offer unexpected perspectives and perfect symmetries. Shadows, on the other hand, can add depth and contrast to images, transforming ordinary scenes into visual works of art.

Architectural Details:

Arles, with its rich historical heritage, offers a goldmine of architectural details to capture. Building facades, ornate doors and windows, and cobbled streets are subjects that reveal the beauty of human structures. By focusing on these details, we can tell stories of culture, history, and craftsmanship.

Nature and Landscapes:

Nature is full of fascinating surfaces to explore. Tree bark, leaves, rocks, and even the ground offer an infinite variety of textures and patterns. Capturing these elements from different angles and lighting conditions creates images that celebrate the diversity and complexity of nature.

Abstractions:

The theme “On the Surface” also encourages a more abstract approach to photography. By focusing on repetitive patterns, colors, and shapes, we can create works that transcend reality and evoke emotions or ideas. Extreme close-ups and minimalist compositions are particularly effective techniques for this style of photograp
