VALENCIA
A workshop focused on visual perception in public space.
Observing light, rhythm, and structure rather than searching for subjects.
Developing clarity within a bright and open urban environment.
About the City
Valencia is a city shaped by light. Sun, openness, and rhythm define its visual language – not through intensity, but through continuity and flow. Light moves freely across streets and surfaces, softening edges and dissolving boundaries. The city reveals itself in sequences of brightness rather than contrast. Streets feel open, yet measured. This makes Valencia an ideal place to observe light as structure – to work with flow instead of tension, and to find clarity within brightness and quiet order within movement.
Focus of the Workshop
• Visual perception in public space
• Light, shadow, and subtle transitions
• Rhythm, repetition, and interruption
• Spatial relationships and distance
• Working with restraint instead of spectacle
How we Work
We move slowly, observe carefully, and work in short, focused phases. There will be guided moments, shared observation, and time to work independently. Feedback happens situationally – while walking, pausing, and reflecting together. The emphasis lies on awareness, rather than speed or output.
For Whom
This workshop is for photographers who want to refine how they see rather than what they photograph.
It is suited for those interested in visual perception, composition, and clarity in public space – independent of experience level or equipment. The focus lies on awareness, conscious decision-making, and developing a personal visual rhythm.
What makes this workshop special
This workshop focuses on how to see and work within Valencia’s open, light-filled urban environment.
What distinguishes this workshop is the emphasis on light, rhythm, and spatial layering. Valencia is shaped by strong daylight, wide streets, and clear architectural transitions. We work with shadow, repetition, and the interaction between built space and human presence. The group is intentionally limited, allowing space for focused observation, individual guidance, and shared discussion, while still supporting a dynamic exchange.
We work in short, concentrated phases, alternating between observation, shooting, and reflection. Feedback happens situationally – while walking, pausing, and reviewing images together in context.
The focus is not on producing many images, but on developing a clear and confident visual language – learning how to work with light, timing, and restraint within an urban environment defined by openness and clarity.
