The Golden, Blue and Night Photo Tour is the most challenging and complete photo tour and workshop you could join as you will have the opportunity to deeply work on photo techniques and improve your photographic skills under a wide variety of conditions.
In this photo walk, you will be seeing and shooting the city during diverse lighting moments.

Visiting Barcelona like a local and learning about history, traditions, and daily life, we will explore and shoot in spots such as La Boquería market, El Raval, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Plaza Real and Sant Jaume squares, inside the oldest streets of the Gothic Quarter, around the cultural center of El Born neighborhood, in Arc de Triomphe and also see some hidden spots.
ITINERARY
We are going to shoot inside the old city of Barcelona, covering Raval and the Gothic neighborhoods. We’ll cross some key places that are a must-see in the city as we are going to shoot in some specific streets or areas that are perfect to create strong images and learn how to work with light. To summarize, The Raval will be our multicultural and colorful area, while the Gothic will be our historical and romantic spot.

WHO CAN TAKE THIS EXPERIENCE?
This experience is private and was ideally made for solo travelers, couples, families and groups of friends. Whether you love photography or you are wishing to visit the city like a local, this tour is perfect for you!
DO I NEED A REFLEX CAMERA?
It is recommendable to have a reflex or mirrorless camera but is not fundamental at all. All the experiences were made for any kind of camera including also pocket, film, phones and even tablets cameras. Remember: In photography, it is all about training the eye, not the equipment.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE?
To have a perfect experience please bring enough free memory space to shoot as much as you wish, fully charged batteries or devices and comfortable shoes for the walk. Please consider coming light without extra or unnecessary accessories!
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
We do not usually cancel experiences because a possible rain as most of the time is a great opportunity to play with textures, reflections and create more dramatic images. If availability permits it and the rain is serious, we will do our best to reschedule it for another day at no additional cost.
