"En Tableau" according to our teacher, Ozzie, is a person (or more) with clear and interesting backgound. A scene in a context, with a main personnage in it.


From head to too or part cropped, but the person should be visible, clear as the background too. A very interesting and animated class with lots of images, and discussions about "en tableau" inside, outside, stated or candid.

Children photos in February

Our children, children we just met, children playing, moving or portraits. We discuss and show different problemes associated with them. Come to look and join with your photos and observations.
