STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
WORKSHOPS IN
MADRID - SPAIN
RASTRO / FLEA MARKET
MARCH 17 - 2024
Itinerary
Madrid´s Rastro is a unique and epic flea market full of interesting people and things, where everything is far from the ordinary. Connected to "La Latina", we will also have the possibility of covering the Lavapies area, another great place to come across some captivating images.
The aim of this workshop is to help you grow as a street photographer while you share with others your passion and enjoy a unique part of Madrid in a fun and engaging way. I will be helping you at any given moment with all of your doubts.
Whether you are already experienced or starting out, you are welcome, but must know your camera and basic photography skills. Street photography in the Rastro of Madrid is a true motivation, so if you are feeling on the low end, it´s a great place to re-energize yourself.
Street photography is a candid style of photography but can host different aspects of the human condition such as the comical, the incredible, the coincidental, the humanistic, cultural heritage...
