La photographie, un metier.
A quoi cela peut il servir d’apprendre son métier ?
Nous voyons fleurir le terme « autodidacte » dans une profession qui nécessite pourtant de réel connaissance technique et pratique. Du CAP aux formations universitaire, il existes des passionnés qui s’investissent dans ces formations qualifiante et incontournable! Les stages conventionnés sont pertinents et représentent autant d’opportunités de s’enrichir et de faire les bons choix de filière. La photographie est certes une profession « artistique »; mais s’imaginer pouvoir s’affranchir de qualification est une prétention risqué dans l’époque que nous traversons… Elle cantonne presque inévitablement les « photographes » concernés dans les secteurs les moins exigeants et bien souvent mal rémunéré…
Les banques d’images trouvent matière à exploiter des photographies standardisées, cédées à moins d’un €uros par des non professionnels, de la même façon que des » photographes passionnés » proposent toute sorte de « prestations » à des niveaux de compétences et tarifs totalement irréaliste.
Compliqué…. pour le grand publique de bien distinguer la réalité de la profession… Un photographe doit être qualifié et compétent…Oui mais….Un médecin est médecin, son enseigne vous informe à elle seul de son appartenance à un ordre régissant clairement la profession…Un photographe doit être passionné, certe mais encore… Son enseigne ne vous apporte aucune garantie!
Comment apprendre ?
A l’inverse de la médiocrité et du yaourt visuel, bien des agences, groupes de presse , entreprises exigent les meilleurs qualifications, des expériences concrète et validées… Aussi, très souvent resservie, le discours « je suis passionné et fait de la photo depuis que je suis tout petit » peut motivé une vocation mais en aucun cas justifier de s’abstenir d’aller apprendre son métier ! Entre 2 et 5 ans sont nécessaire pour maitriser les bases, les fondamentaux théorique, artistique et technologique.
Trouver la formation qui nous conviens est un choix objectif qui doit être en phase avec l’évolution des métiers, proche des attentes professionnel.Les écoles, centres de formation, stages divers doivent être reconnue et validé (souvent conventionné) par les organismes compétent!
Il s’agit la des atouts indispensable à toute profession, aucun encadrement ne régissant clairement certaine spécialités, les appellations les plus farfelus sont à l’ordre du jour…
Pour devenir photographe sur Marseille, nous participons à notre tour à la transmission indispensable de nos expériences auprès de jeunes stagiaires désireux de partager les réalités du terrain… Reportages, enquête, montage, éditing, un univers en pleine mutation qui nécessite des connaissances pluridisciplinaire.
Les nouvelles technologies représentent une part importante de nos investissements et apportent de nombreuse expertises que nous sommes heureux de partager auprès de ces futurs professionnels!
Chaque convention est sanctionné par la réalisation de projet bien concret ! Elle s’articule autour de nombreux supports argentique et numérique (Chambre, moyen format), répondant à 2 impératifs bien d’actualité, l’orientation et l’insertion dans la vie professionnel. En ces temps compliqué pour la création et la réalisation photographique, les anciens élèves ce doivent soutiens et partage pour un réseau qualifié et reconnue internationalement.
Approfondir ces connaissances, acquérir la maturité professionnel demande une mobilité international, une passion inextinguible de l’image et de l’information… Une vocation! Ces cursus doivent être innovant et au fait des technologies de pointe.

The republic includes outer islands – St. Brandon, Rodrigues and the Agalega.
In Mauritius, health care services are free and accessible to all the population within a
network institution for primary, secondary and tertiary care.
The HIV prevalence is estimated at 1.8% in 2007. There has been a signifi cant shift in
the reported mode of transmission of HIV from heterosexual (until 2001) to injecting
drug use (IDUs). In 2007, 83.6 % of newly detected cases were among IDUs.
The prevalence in high risk groups (identifi ed as sex workers, IDUs and prison immates
– PI) is 15% to 20%.
Country Response
National priorities were identifi ed after extensive consultative process involving all
stakeholders :
• To improve the quality of life of PLWHA through effective and effi cient
comprehensive treatment, care and support
• To create an enabling environment for sustained behaviour change for the
population at large
• To reduce the transmission of HIV among IDUs, PIs and sex workers through
intensifi ed primary prevention efforts
• To reduce transmission of HIV among women,
men who have sex with men, sex worker’s
clients and mobile populations

SEYCHELLES
Issues
The Seychelles is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean northeast
of Madagascar and about 1,600 km (1,000 miles) east of Kenya. The nation is an
archipelago of 121 islands. About 90 percent of the population lives on Mahé, 9
percent on Praslin and La Digue.
As at December 2007, the cumulative number of cases is 321, the number of patients
on HAART is 120. As in most of the countries in the region, the young people is the
most affected. The most frequent mode of transmission is heterosexual (70%) followed
by combined homo/bisexual (25%) and mother to child transmission (5%).
Country Response
Guided by the outcomes of the situation and response analyses, the strategic objectives
are as follows:
• to create and sustain an environment conducive to a more coordinated and
effi cient multisectoral response to HIV and AIDS
• to reduce the risk factors to HIV/AIDS among the young people
• to reduce the vulnerability of young people to HIV/AIDS
• to reduce the impact (psychological, medical, social, economic and emotional) of
HIV infection and AIDS
A regional initiative committed to the
prevention of HIV/AIDS and STI in the

Issues
Situated in the north of the Mozambique channel, between Madagascar and the African
east coast, the archipelago of Comoros covers a surface of 2236 Km².
Concerning its economic situation, in spite of its tourism and agricultural potential,
54.7% of the population live below the poverty line. The Comorian population is 100%
Muslim. Societal norms and values are organized around the family. The religious
body is the supreme authority: the “muftorat” has a consultative role in the application
of Islamic laws relating to social issues.
Sexually Transmitted Infections constitute the fi fth reason of health consultation.
HIV prevalence is estimated in 2003 at 0.025% in the general population. The mode of
transmission is mainly heterosexual. The denial of the AIDS epidemic is very strong
among the population and stigma and discrimination also exist among the medical
community and the population at large.
Country Response
Facing this situation, the National Program against AIDS, with its partners, defi ned its
strategies for the period 2008 – 2012 as follows:
• Leadership: commitment, advocacy, resource mobilization
• Prevention and social mobilization: communication techniques, peer education,
didactic tools, prevention of mother to child
transmission
• Care and support : treatment of STI, VCT, care
and support to People Livinsg with HIV
• Research: epidemiological surveillance,
studies
• Coordination, monitoring and evaluation
FRANCE/ REUNION
Issues
Réunion is one of the four overseas departments of France. The island is characterized
by a strong demographic dynamism, with a threefold increase of its population within
50 years.
Concerning HIV infection, it started in 1987 and the prevalence remains relatively low
with a cumulated number of 632 patients at the end of 2007. The main modes of
transmission as at end 2006, are: heterosexual transmission (55.60%), homosexual or
bisexual transmission (30.90%) and injecting drug use (9.60%).
Country Response
Facing this situation, the departmental strategy is more focused on increasing early
testing , condom promotion (especially among young people) and harm reduction.
Additional initiatives of the regional health program (DRASS) are :
• sustain solidarity effort towards the infected patients;
• continue outreach activities targeting most at risk populations
• address the problem of migration and sexual tourism
• continue to train professionals
The program also aims to encourage a global approach to responsible sexuality based
on lifeskills education
MADAGASCAR
Issues
Madagascar consists of twenty two administrative regions. The size of Madagascar is
equivalent to the one of France, Belgium and Luxemburg combined. The country is
ranked 146th out of 177 countries by the” Human Development Index in 2005 “ and
has a low population density compared with other island states of the region.
HIV prevalence is estimated at 0.14% among the adult population (15 to 49 years).
In spite of this low rate, there are potential factors such as high incidence of STI for a
possible explosion of this epidemic.
The main at risk population are commercial sex workers and their clients, MSM and
mobile men.
Country Response
