Photo Hike By Justine Montmarché
2026-06-13 10:00 - 12:00 | Auvers-sur-Oise, Auvers-sur-Oise, 95430
This workshop offers an immersive photographic course inspired by the work of Vincent Van Gogh and the landscapes of the Vexin. During a stroll in the heart of Auvers, participants are invited to take a close look at the landscapes that inspired Vincent, their lines and their variations of light.
Along the way, photography is explored as a means of sensitive expression, echoing the Impressionist approach. Participants experiment with techniques such as blurring, voluntary movement, or shifted focus, in order to translate an emotion or atmosphere rather than a true representation of the real.
This approach questions the notion of moment and perception dear to Van Gogh, leaving room for gesture, rhythm and intuition. The objective is not to freeze the landscape, but to feel it and to transcribe it through the image.
Adapted to beginners.
