🇫🇷 🥪**Picnic** Chacun.e apporte son picnic. **📸 Atelier Photo Portrait – Bois de Vincennes🌳** La bois de Vincennes comme studio à ciel ouvert — lumière filtrée, sous-bois denses. Un cadre naturel exceptionnel pour explorer le portrait photo ensemble. Cet atelier est pensé pour tous les niveaux, de l'amateur curieux au photographe confirmé. Pas de cours magistral : on apprend en faisant, en échangeant, en se photographiant mutuellement. Chacun passe devant et derrière l'objectif. **Au programme :** On explorera plusieurs approches du portrait en situation réelle — lumière naturelle et gestion des ombres en forêt, portraits en pleine lumière vs. contre-jour, utilisation du flou d'arrière-plan (bokeh), mise en scène et direction du modèle, portraits documentaires / candides, et selon les envies du groupe : poses, expressions, storytelling visuel. Chacun repart avec des images, des retours constructifs, et de nouvelles techniques en poche. **📸 Matériel :** Apportez votre appareil photo (reflex, hybride, compact ou même smartphone). L'important, c'est votre regard. Apportez vos accessoires si vous en avez (réflecteurs, difuseurs etc.) **⚠️ Note importante – utilisation des photos :** Les photos prises lors de l'atelier sont susceptibles d'être utilisées pour la promotion du groupe sur les réseaux sociaux. En participant, vous acceptez que vos images (en tant que photographe ou modèle) puissent être publiées à cet effet. ✅ Si vous ne souhaitez pas apparaître sur les visuels partagés, merci de le signaler sur place — votre choix sera respecté sans question. **Infos pratiques :** * 📍 Métro Porte dorée (sortie 1) à 12h45 * 🕙 Durée : environ 4h * 🎒 Prévoir votre picnic et **de quoi s'hydrater pendant toute la durée du meetup (grand soleil et 33 degrés sont prévus pour dimanche)** 🇬🇧 🥪Picnic Everyone brings their own picnic. 📸 Portrait Photography Workshop – Bois de Vincennes🌳 Bois de Vincennes as an open-air studio — filtered light, dense woodland paths. An exceptional natural setting to explore portrait photography together. This workshop is designed for all levels, from curious beginners to experienced photographers. No formal lecture: we learn by doing, by exchanging ideas, and by photographing each other. Everyone gets a chance to be both behind and in front of the camera. Program: We’ll explore several approaches to portrait photography in real-life conditions — natural light and shadow management in the forest, portraits in direct light vs. backlighting, use of background blur (bokeh), staging and model direction, documentary / candid portraits, and depending on the group’s interests: poses, expressions, visual storytelling. Everyone leaves with images, constructive feedback, and new techniques to use. 📸 Equipment: Bring your camera (DSLR, mirrorless, compact camera, or even a smartphone). What matters most is your eye. Bring your accessories if you have them (reflectors, diffusers, etc.). ⚠️ Important note – use of photos: Photos taken during the workshop may be used to promote the group on social media. By participating, you agree that your images (as a photographer or as a model) may be published for this purpose. ✅ If you do not wish to appear in shared visuals, please let us know on site — your choice will be respected without question. Practical information: 📍 Porte Dorée metro station (exit 1) at 12:45 PM 🕙 Duration: around 4 hours 🎒 Please bring your picnic and enough water for the entire meetup (full sun and 33°C / 91°F are expected on Sunday)

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
