We have the opportunity to make many images in our lives. Access to cameras has been greatly democratized, but this leads to a world of images... sometimes banal ones. And while not everyone wants to become a great photographer, the fact remains that composition is interesting because it gives meaning to the image we want to capture.
Professional photographer Davud Duchemin shows you how to avoid certain common compositional errors.
For example, make sure you don't have elements in the background that are too distracting from the subject. Cutting out the latter also leads to an uneasy feeling of wanting to visually complete the cut-off face or missing hands. The subject doesn't always have to be at the center. It does if you want to show symmetry, for example. It's also better to leave space to see the movement, the environment, to give it meaning.
Obviously, all these rules can be "betrayed" for aesthetic reasons, but this must be clear in the photos taken. The idea in composition is, like a film director, to use all the evocative power of the image to convey something.
The progression of the Covid-19 epidemic, once thought to be linear, is proving to be exponential. In a minimum of time, and to meet containment constraints, trainers and teachers must adapt their courses for distance learning. How can they do this? We interviewed two specialists, Christine Vaufrey and Jean Vanderspelden, to get some advice for those who would be starting in a hurry without being used to e-learning, and for the others.
GPT Chat or no GPT Chat at school? This is a false question to which some people give the wrong answers. If the school is moving slowly, it is to its credit that it wants to maintain a certain quality, but now it has to move, it has to position itself in front of modernity which, otherwise, will make it obsolete.
How to prepare for the start of the new school year, with what resources? Take inspiration from what works in didactics and beyond, and rethink the whole thing to better engage our participants in the theme and content to be addressed.
An enlightened choice of course among human activities necessarily takes into account the deep integration of technologies, including intelligent robot-workers.
Creativity works by detours. Simply replace the phrase "what would you do if..." with "what would Leonardo da Vinci have done if..." to get answers of a very different nature. It is a similar process that leads a writer to develop his creative process through a pseudonym, or Michel Serres to produce an original thought through a multitude of characters.
