THE PORTRAIT IN SITUATION by Denis Dailleux

Cairo Photo Week 2021 is delighted to bring to you the internationally acclaimed French photographer Denis Dailleux. The photographer who visualized Egypt like it's own people.
(This workshop comes in support of the French Institute in Cairo).

The general theme of the workshop will be how to take a portrait in natural light without adding a light source.

This workshop aims to optimize the relationship between the photographer and his model: choice of frame, light and the timing: a photographic process that Denis Dailleux observes and understands in others as well as in himself.

In a genre where he excels, in Portraiture in Situation, he offers a balance between understanding the subject and the place chosen for the photograph. An approach so perfectly mastered by Denis Dailleux that it is today impossible to dissociate his portraits from the countries which inspired them, as evidenced by his photographs taken in Cairo or more recently in Ghana.

Day one: Introduction to your work.
Day 2: Shooting under his guidance.
day 3: Shooting day (project assignment).
Day 4: Feedback and critical analysis of the results.

Details by day:

On the first day he will introduce himself b and his photographic background then each participant will introduce him/herself by showing his/her body of work. Denis will discuss what each one would like to photograph during this workshop.

Days two & three: Practical with Denis & alone: All the shoots will be happening in places chosen and identified by Denis Dailleux around Cairo. Denis will accompany them during their shooting on day two.

On the fourth day, the participants continue to work in the morning and finish the workshop with a critique of their final work.

Denis will also give a daily update at the end of the second & third days.
