Echoing the exhibition PENN & FASHION, this workshop invites parents and children to experiment with Irving Penn's "Corner Studio", accompanied by the photographer-artist Claire Pathé.
In 1948, Irving Penn began making portraits in a space formed by two walls set at an angle. This singular setup, which limits movement and reduces distractions, creates a particular relationship between the model, the space and the photographer's gaze.
Your turn: step into this space and explore the possibilities of portraiture! During this workshop, each participant will be able to experiment with both sides of the camera: being the model and being the photographer. How do you take your place in the corner? What pose should you adopt? How do you look at the other person and compose an image?
As a family, you will play with poses, looks and everyday clothing to create your own portraits, drawing inspiration from Irving Penn's experience.
