Barcelona
is the place to go for visitors looking for a modern city with a strong
sense of tradition. Here you will find the most eccentric architecture
ever designed, no less that 9 UNESCO World Heritage sites, exciting
markets, Roman, Gothic, Modernist and Bohemian influences, unique local
fiestas and an unrivaled choice of options for eating, drinking and
nightlife. Most photographers who visit this city are quite overwhelmed
by the sheer number of photographic opportunities it has to offer. Each
neighborhood has a unique footprint though somehow they manage to
harmonize with each other. Barcelona should be at the top of any
photographer's list who wants to capture stunning images.
This
adventure is designed not only to guide you to the most photogenic
locations carefully planned for the best light, but to aid you in
mentally visualizing a scene before capturing the decisive moment. Our
aim is to raise your awareness and spark your creativity so that you not
only go home with images to be proud of, but use your new found skills
to improve and expand your photographic technique in general. Apart from
the technical aspect of learning your camera settings and capabilities,
you will learn how to turn an ordinary image into an extraordinary
image by using your own creativity.
In
addition, you will become knowledgeable on how to survey the landscape,
utilize and approach your environment, photograph people indigenous to
the region and the cultural considerations and challenges of
photographing in a foreign country. Our week together will include
individual and group discussions, inspiring ideas and great fun. We
cannot think of a better location to express your creativity than the
magical city of Barcelona.
