Julien Magre

"Julien Magre's work is part of a biographical journey, and his photographs [...] capture the tenderness of time as it passes over loved ones. The intimacy shown is never simple, since the photographer takes great care not to reveal every detail of his life, thus transfiguring everyday banality", writes Héloïse Conésa, curator at the BNF, about Julien's work.

Julien Magre is the winner of the Prix Niépce in 2022. Drawing on this rich experience, he invites participants to shoot and write a series of intimate images of the town of Deauville. The aim is also to produce a text. This text (or texts) can take any form: poems, notes, diaries, prose... The aim of this workshop is to produce images, experiment, edit, find the right order and rhythm to produce a coherent narrative, a series that "holds together". Technical questions will be kept to a minimum, leaving the analysis and choice of images to the fore.
