“Together, alone”: for the first online workshop entirely led in French organized by the photo agency Magnum, Jean Gaumy invites photographers to explore notions of empathy and empathy in photography.
During four weeks and through group meetings and one-to-ones, you will work on a photographic project in relation with these themes of distance, the relationship to your subject and to people.

“My physical distance, when photographing people, is usually between 3 and 5 meters. Sometimes less. I feel like I’m in the middle of subjects, among them, yet at the same time I’m not really present. The contradiction is there: I am an observer. My mental and physical behaviour naturally sets me apart. This situation is unique to photographers. I have an expression: “All alone together”. It stems from a word that I like a lot, coined by Robert Charlebois, “solidaritude”, a contraction of solidarity and solitude. Solidarity is at the heart of my work.”
