Ce sera l’occasion de réfléchir et d’échanger sur les raisons de pratiquer la photographie aujourd’hui, de se pencher sur son histoire et ses évolutions et perspectives.

le besoin de créer des images au XIXème siècle
- Les usages de la photographie jusqu’au 21ème siècle
photo vernaculaire, technique, artistique, documentaire, de reportage, photo plasticienne, photo familiale
- 21ème siècle
nouveaux enjeux, nouvelles pratiques et nouveaux usages photographiques (le portable, l’internet, le téléphone,….), et la valeur du patrimoine et de la création artistique photographique (conservation, ventes, enchères, internet…)
