3:10PMF4:30PM!! 2! ROUNDFTABLE:! NEW! PHOTOGRAPHY! APPLICATIONS! FROM! THE! INTERNET!
!
Dimitri'Beck,!editorFinFchief!of!Polka,!is!well!aware!that!for!many!photographers!the!introduction!of!
digital! is! synonymous! with! a! !funeral! march!.! However,! isnt! considering! digital! as! the! enemy! of!
photography! rather! easyFthinking! and! dismissing! when! many! photography! projects! wouldnt! exist!
without!this!new!technology.!!!!
Already! Dmitri! reminded! us! that! Les! Rencontres! dArles! wouldnt! exist! outside! the! two! summer!
months! and,! with! digital! technology,! a! second! online! life! throughout! the! entire! year.! The! role! of!
digital! is! reinforced! by! the! new! product! applications! (the! drones),! ! extension! of! services! (use! of!
metadata),! new! ways! of! collaborative! financing! (collaborative! platforms)! and! lastly! new! learning!
applications.!!
!
1.!Vincent' Tricart!is! an! exFpilot! of! the! airforce! who! coFfounded! a! company! specialising! in! aerial!
photography!drone!solutions,!DroneImages.!According!to!Vincent,!the!drone!is!both!a!new!tool!for!
artistic!creation!and!a!collaborative!tool.!The!photographer!no!longer!lays!his!eyes!behind!the!device!
and!by!taking!photos!from!a!distance,!discovers!new!creative!perspectives.!Vincent!teaches!us!that!
drones!were!developed!about!five!years!ago!in!a!collaborative!way!by!geeks!and!have!been!rapidly!
adopted! by! still! and! animated! image! creators.! Today! the! future! of! drones! is! constrained! by! the!
requirements! of! respecting! regulation! and! the! economic! model! for! the! industry! still! has! to! be!
developed.!

2.!Mathieu'Desoubaux'is!the!young!coFfounder!of!Lamark.!Lamark!developed!a!technology!to!allow!
photography! to! protect! their! dues! all! the! while! proposing! to! its! public! a! contextualisation! and! a!
storytelling! around! its! image.! Started! from! an! observation! that! on! the! Internet! an! image! is! quickly!
shared! and! reFshared! without! us! knowing! where! it! comes! from,! and! without! the! photographer!
knowing! his/her! audiance,! the! leitmotiv! of! Lamark! is! about! providing! the! possibility! to! retrace! the!
source! of! the! image.! Larmark! developed! a! invisible! and! incorruptible! tag! system! that! contains! the!
metadata! of! each! referenced! image! on! the! platform.! Simply! scan! the! image! with! your! phone! to!
retrieve! all! the! related! information:! author,! technical! settings,! the! pertaining! series.! Based! on! this!
marking! (the! idea! behind! the! company! name! Lamark),! the! photographer! can! engage! in! a!
conversation! with! his/her! fans,! redirect! them! towards! products! on! sale! and! mesure! his/her!
audience.!!!

of!legal!and!economic!upheavals?!
1.'Fabrice'Naftalski!partner!lawyer!partner!at!EY,!introduced!the!legal!issues!of!the!ongoing!reform!
desired!by!Europe!including!after!the!adoption!by!the!European!Parliament!the!day!before!Thursday,!
July! 9! of! the! report! presented! by! German! MEP! Julia! Reda! focusing! on! the! fact! that! we! had! to!
properly! evaluate! the! agility! of! the! copyright! which! englobes! adapted! concepts! to! include! digital!
creation!(composite!work,!Collective!work).!
The!lenses!worn!by!the!Reda!report!to!facilitate!access!to!content!by!the!general!public!and!their!reF
use! in! the! context! of! new! practices! ('transformative! works')! was! amended! by! other! considerations!
such!as!the!preservation!of!the!cultural!heritage,!the!protection!of!the!prerogatives!of!the!authors!to!
encourage!creativity!and!diversity.!Please!note!a!few!relevant!tracks!proposed!by!the!Reda!report!on!

(duration,! exceptions! facilitating! access! to! digital! books,! fair! use...)! but! also:! the! need! to! associate!
more! closely! all! beneficiaries! from! the! dissemination! of! content! to! their! protection! and!
compensation!(with!the!related!rights).!!
In! this! context,! the! reopening! of! discussions! on! the! directive! of! 22! May! 2001! on! copyright! and!
related! rights! in! the! society! of! information! must! also! be! linked! with! certain! aspects! of! the! eF

Other! levers! are! also! possible! to! promote! the! protection! of! content! and! the! diversity! in! the! digital!
economy:! competition! law! and! the! protection! of! knowFhow,! standardization! and! certification,! the!
use!of!metadata,!new!techniques!for!fundraising,!the!provision!of!new!services!around!the!creations!
(elements!of!contextualization!of!the!photographs!and!interaction!with!other!content,!and!data...).!

into!account!the!sociological!developments!in!the!uses!and!the!expectations!of!consumers.!
2'Olivier'Brillanceau,'DirectorFgeneral!of!the!SAIF!wished!to!clarify!three!important!points!in!his!eyes.!
First! participatory! financing! is! a! complementary! form! funding! that! completes! usual! funding! failing!
today! brought! in! with! public! and! private! orders,! but! that! cannot! replace! them.! The! risk! would! be!
large!enough!to!undermine!the!entire!value!chain.!
Secondly,' photography! does! not! have! a! support! or! a! preFpurchase! system! Fund! for! upstream!
financing!for!productions!while!long!time!is!required!for!photographic!creation.!
Finally! the! drastic! drop! in! income! (division! by! five! in! five! years! in! the! press)! pushes! the!
photographers!to!generate!multiFrevenues!(a!news!story,!a!book,!an!exhibition,!a!webFdocumentary)!
and!must!be!compensated!to!find!adapted!tools!for!reception!by!society.!In!this!perspective!Olivier!
Brillanceau!presented!how!author!societies!are!involved!in!the!sharing!of!the!value!on!the!Internet.!
And! of! course! how! this! share! should! be! rebalanced! to! the! benefit! of! the! authors! rather! than! be!
galvanized!by!the!giants!of!the!web!(GAFA).!
Mathieu'Desoubaux'then!clarified!that!Google!free!picture!"was!really!less!sexy"!and!might!be!why!
the!giant!which!benefits!from!the!images!decided!to!trace!the!use!to!pay!its!users!and!return!value!to!
the!authors.!In!the!meantime,!Lamark!request!to!redistribute!to!photographers!the!value!retrieved!
by!Google.!
!
Adrien'Aumont,'coFfounder!of!the!platform!KissKissBankBank,!said!that!it!would!be!unfortunate!that!
the! value! chain! is! become! less! responsible! due! to! the! rise! of! crowdfunding.! He! recalled,! however,!
that!participatory!funding!is!the!form!of!preFpurchase!best!suited!in!the!context!of!film!financing!that!
is!dying.!He!welcomed:!"that's!good,!because!the!traditional!preFpurchase!prevents!private!financing!
and!leads!to!five!people!deciding!the!future!of!French!cinema".!Canal!+!piggybacked!the!growth!of!
French!cinema,!has!innovated!with!the!preFpurchase!model,!but!their!model!is!crumbling.!Now!the!
public!can!preFpurchase".!
!!
6PMF7PM! Debate:! issues! and! risks! for! photography! in! the! COLLABORATIVE! economy!
!
Thierry' Bout,' a' great! photographer! exposing! his! series! Private! affairs! at! the! Meetings! this! year,!
joined! the! debate! to! demonstrate! increasing! hybridization! of! revenues! for! photographers.! A!
command!for!the!press!was!paid!about!100,000!euros!a!decade!ago,!it!is!no!more!than!10,000!euros!
today,! and! copyright! rarely! compensate.! Photographers! often! leave! to! start! work! without! prior!
command,! and! must! then! seek! funding.! Reaching! out! to! brands! might! pay! off.! Thierry! showed! his!
work!on!LeBonCoin.fr!most!unusual!sales!and!hoped!that!they!will!participate!in!its!financing!or!its!
promotion.! He! also! sold! exclusively! to! Figaro! Magazine.! The! dissemination! of! his! work! abroad! is!
much!easier!than!before,!thanks!to!international!agencies!like!Getty!Images,!so!the!same!work!can!
actually!generate!100!times!more!income!than!before.!Thierry!regretted!that!the!Meetings!were!not!
more! oriented! towards! the! sale! of! works,! such! as! the! Cannes! film! festival! for! films.! Why! not!
eventually,!because!the!picture!cannot!do!without.!
!
Thierry'Maillet!confirmed!the!need!to!imagine!new!forms!of!compensation!for!photographers.!This!is!
the! purpose! of! the! collaborative! platform! he! developed,! Ooshot,! which! facilitates! the! matching! of!
photographers!with!customers,!increases!their!turnover!during!the!year.!To!move!on!from!the!logic!
of! exFpost! compensation! for! copyright! to! a! logic! of! exFante! compensation! for! the! service.!
The! France! is! indeed! no! longer! the! center! of! the! world! when! it! comes! to! legal! matters! and! other!

countries!do!not!have!the!same!concept!of!copyright!law.!Either!we!prioritize!the!legal!approach,!or!
focus!on!a!much!more!concrete!commercial!vision!for!photographers.!
Clment' Saccomani' has! responded! by! pointing! out! that! photographers! have! always! struggled! to!
finance!themselves!and!have!always!had!to!innovate!in!this!area.!This!is!the!case!for!Magnum!Photos!
since!its!inception.!
The! problem! of! photography! is! especially! its! disunity! and! its! inability! to! think! itself! as! an! industry:!
how! many! federations,! unions,! collectives! for! a! small! population?! Let! us! unite! instead! of! thinking!
shortFterm!and!it!will!be!possible!to!move!forward.!
Laure' Kaltenbach' (Director!General!of!the!Forum!dAvignon)!intervened!from!the!public!to!ask!the!
solution!to!this!disunion:!who!can!get!the!industry!to!aggregate?!
Thierry'Maillet'talked!about!the!announcement!by!the!Ministry!concerning!the!creation!of!a!national!
centre!of!photography!as!a!new!initiative!going!in!the!right!direction.!
Others! were! more! skeptical:! Thierry' Bout' claimed! the! independent! and! unruly! character! of!
photographers! who! will! not! easily! follow! in! the! direction! of! public! authorities! who! have! so! far!
neglected.! Clment' Saccomani' approved! by! saying! that! we! mustnt! expect! everything! from! public!
authorities.! Olivier! Brillanceau' referred! to! the! failure! of! the! National! Centre! of! Music.!
!
Adrien'Aumont'regrets!that!while!the!image!market!is!developing!at!full!speed,!while!possibilities!are!
multiplying! at! the! speed! of! light! due! to! the! third! industrial! revolution,! the! cultural! sector! or! the!
sector!is!where!we!innovate!the!least.!He!advocates!the!widespread!use!of!the!intermittence!regime!
to!all!creator!statuses,!which!would!have!for!corollary!a!universal!income.!
Mathieu'Desoubaux'confirms:!the!market!for!image!is!growing!but!photographers!do!not!find!ways!
to! capture! the! value! produced.! With! digital! you! can! capture! this! value! after! broadcast,! by!
automating!collection!of!rights,!by!selling!his!imageFrelated!products.!
Thierry' Maillet' then! pointed! out! that! it! was! pity! that! Thierry! Bout! today! only! has! American!
interlocutors!F!Getty,!Corbis,!Shutterstock,!Fotolia!(ADOBE)!F!to!sell!his!works!internationally.!And!if!
Magnum!Photos!is!a!model!agency!that!manages!to!settle!abroad,!it!is!also!regrettable!that!there!is!
only!one!like!it!in!France.!Today!when!someone!decides!to!start!working!in!digital,!everyone!will!tell!
you!to!go!to!NY!!
If!Fotolia!had!been!sold!to!Americans,!there!wouldnt!have!been!a!European!Fund!to!accompany!him,!
said! Adrien' Aumont.! Yet! the! France! is! a! very! attractive! to! create! a! company.! The! problem! is!
internationalization.! As! stated! by! the! founder! of! BlaBlaCar,! Frdric! Mazzella,! the! France! is! both! a!
country!too!small!and!too!big.!Too!small!compared!to!the!United!States,!where!once!one!is!a!national!
leader,!one!is!also!in!fact!a!world!leader.!Too!large!relative!to!the!Sweden,!where!one!is!obliged!to!be!
born!international!
Olivier' Brillanceau' however! believes! in! to! the! unique! features! European! and! French,! directly! from!
WIPO!(World!Intellectual!Property!Organization)!standards.!They!are!unfortunately!described!in!the!
European!debate!as!innovation!brakes:!protection!of!personal!data,!copyright...!it!would!not!fall!into!
the! "royaltyFfree"! system,! with! a! single! and! lumpFsum! remuneration! like! the! one! adopted! Fotolia!!
