Barcelona: Exploring Your Vision

Few cities in the world encompass the richness and variety of Barcelona. A city of art and architecture –– of Miro, Picasso, and Gaudi –– it also is a beach city, an ancient city, as well as a vibrant modern city. Above all for photographers, it is a city of visual exuberance.

Please join Rebecca and Alex for this 8-day workshop, which is about exploring the world of Barcelona with a camera in a direct and spontaneous way. It is a workshop that will emphasize the development of a personal way of seeing and how to edit –– select and sequence your photographs –– intuitively. And what better way of finding your photographic vision, then exploring the art and architecture of this fascinating city as a group.

Former students are invited to apply, but other photographers will be considered. For more information contact Anne Lise Flavik at annelise@studioa7.no
