“Deliverance” Sao Tome e Principe, Africa 2019 and 2021 Nicolas Pascarel | La Photo Autrement

Join American photographer Davin Ellicson in the Maramures region of northern Romania 12-19 April 2023 for a week of enchantment during Orthodox Easter in one of the most traditional villages left in Europe.

For decades Romania’s closed border policy under the dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu as well as a natural fortress of mountains kept Maramures isolated from the rest of Europe. Even after the fall of communism change was slow to enter the region. The area is renowned for the strength of its traditions, folk costumes, idyllic landscape and is considered the heart of Romanian culture. In 2007 Romania joined the European Union and Maramures is at last changing. Come savor this rural life before it vanishes forever!

Davin is offering a seven day documentary photography workshop based in the village of Valeni where he lived for a year with a family and fell under Romania's dark spell. It is the subject of his first book coming out in 2023, designed by Dutchman Sybren Kuiper and Davin will explore his book making process for those interested. In his eighth workshop in the village, he will be sharing his passion for Romania with students. We will explore neighboring villages during Orthodox Easter week as well as attend three days of Easter ceremonies culminating with Easter Sunday on 16 April.

Davin will be working closely with workshop participants and providing daily critiques and group discussions. We will begin with a review of participants' past work. The goal of this workshop is to learn to create strong personal photographs about summer peasant life. We will shoot during the day and edit in the evenings. It’s a workshop open to amateurs and professionals alike. Technical, theoretical and aesthetic issues will be discussed as attendees work towards honing their individual visions.

Everyone will enjoy great access and homestays will allow for an immersive experience with local villagers and the opportunity to sample distinctive traditional Romanian food and 110 proof homemade plum brandy. It will be an opportunity to witness the last peasants in Europe living life as they have for millennia albeit with a few aspects of modern life mixed in! The week promises to be an intense, intimate and unforgettable experience where students will get to know the villagers first hand and live a romantic way of life forgotten in the rest of Europe more than a century ago.

It is an all digital workshop limited to 6 students and everyone should come with their own laptop and editing software. Knowledge of your digital SLR or rangefinder and workflow is essential.

DATES: 12-19 April 2023.

WORKSHOP LOCATION: Valeni, Maramures, Romania Homestays and all meals are included. Participants are responsible for their own transportation to Romania and up to Maramures although the option is available on a first come first served basis for three students to accompany Davin from Bucharest and back by SUV for an additional cost which includes food and accommodation one night each way in a restored Saxon house in Transylvania. A few airlines now fly from western Europe to the cities of Bucharest, Cluj and Satu Mare from where there are daily trains to the city of Baia Mare in Maramures.

REGISTRATION: The workshop is open to any professional or committed amateur who has knowledge of digital cameras and editing software. Participants must come with their own camera, laptop and editing software. All ages welcome!

PRICE: 995 euros.

ABOUT: Photographer Davin Ellicson, American, born 1978, works from Bucharest, Romania. His first major project was "Țăran" about the period during which he lived and farmed with a peasant family in the remote Maramures region of northern Romania. Davin went for a year without running water, drinking milk straight from the cow while photographing Romanians' fidelity to the earth and folk traditions that he knew were about to vanish. It is the subject of his first book coming out in 2023, designed by Dutchman Sybren Kuiper and with a text by Romanian/American writer and poet Andrei Codrescu. A psychological portrait of the city of Bucharest comprises the second part of Davin's trilogy of photographic works about Romania. Currently, he is working on the final volume, “The Dacia Project”, a retrospective journey around the country by car in both a 2002 Dacia 1310 (a rebadged 1970s Renault 12 and a symbol of Ceausescu's Romania) as well as Dacia's latest 4x4 SUV, the Duster. Davin's work has appeared in The New York Times, Le Monde M, The Guardian and The Official Ferrari Magazine among others. Awards include two grants from The Romanian Cultural Institute in Bucharest.

Bank ARTの写真ワークショップで提出した写真などから組み合わせ。涼しい感じのやつ！鷹野隆大先生のときは自分は果敢にもヌードを撮りました。組み写真って合うのがあれば良いけど、ないのが多いから難しいが、雰囲気合うと楽しい。このとき暗い部屋の露出合わせに苦労して格闘したのだがやはり粗く。でもそれも良いかなと今見ると思ってます。 （モデルになってくれた人たち、ありがとうございました）sabo

Thoughts and Feelings of Your EX about U

Pick a picture 1 - 2 - 3 -Short reading-

PILE 1

Hello, darling. I hope you are doing amazing! So, your ex may think that you are intelligent, thoughtful and independent. They may see you as a person who is sharp-witted, perceptive and cold hearted. It looks like you are emotionally guarded or distant. You have solid boundaries. Seems like no contact situation or you broke their heart. There may be some unresolved issues between you tho. They remember what you shared and how special you are (yes! sure!) and your relationship was. They may feel an urge to return to you. They even may manifest you back. There is possibility that they will reach out soon. Personal readings are available!

PILE 2

Hello, sugar. I hope you are doing wonderful. Well, your ex may see you as a person who puts in consistent effort and hard work towards your goals. They may admire your dedication, patience and willingness to invest time and energy into various aspects of your life. Your ex may be reflecting on the progress you've made or the outcomes of your efforts together. There may be a sense of introspection regarding your relationship and its impact on both of your lives. They’ve spent time thinking about you and they’ve realized that there is so much that you’ve shared together. Your history means a lot to them. They are able to be truly comfortable around you. However, it's time to move on. There is a minimal chance of reconciliation. Personal readings are available!

PILE 3

Hello, sunshine. I hope you are doing amazing. So, they perceive you as someone who is adaptable and resilient. You may influenced them significantly (or vice versa), brought unexpected change. You are remarcable and unpredicatable. They may think that your relationships were destined to be. I hope you both learned your lessons. Also one day they may think positively about you and another day the opposite such a cold and hot energy. They may feel like you mean the world to them. They aren't over your relationship. They may believe that you represent total emotional fulfillment for them. Reconciliation is possible (they may manifest you back). It all depends on you.

Personal readings are available!
