Photography Workshop Maison des Arènes – Martine Ravache, poser des mots sur ses photographies

Martine Ravache has created a workshop on ‘reading’ images entitled ‘Learning to see’, the title of which is also quite a programme.

Using a wide range of exercises based on a large body of historical and contemporary photographs, she leads participants to become aware of their personal relationship to the ‘gaze’, to photography in general and to its history. From an unexpected angle, with the help of numerous moments of image analysis (associating, comparing, describing, commenting, etc.), it leads each participant, always in a playful way, to develop a more vigilant eye and to enrich their approach to photographic works.
This course will take place on Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 July 2025 as part of the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles.
Martine Ravache is a graduate of the Ecole du Louvre and has been a critic and photography specialist since she started working for Magazine Littéraire in 1991. Curator of the exhibition “Lartigue à La Baule ; 1913-1929”, summer 2017, at the Musée Bernard Boesch in La Baule, curator of the exhibition “J.H Lartigue : La vie en couleurs” in 2015 at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, she is also the author of seven books about or based on photography, including Regards paranoïaques published by Éditions du Canoë.
