The experience

Your way of seeing.
A little more direction.

You might be starting out, feeling stuck or looking for a fresh perspective on a project. We begin with your photographs and what you want to explore.

In Barcelona, we take ideas into the street and try them together. Online, we look closely at your work. The focus is on decisions you can understand and use again.

Use light, shadow and colour to guide attention.

About your instructor

Hi, I’m Mattia.

I’m a photographer and writer based in Barcelona, working between street and documentary photography. My work explores identity, belonging and the ways people connect.

The streets are where I keep my eyes and intuition sharp. Trained as an engineer and designer, I bring that curiosity to photography—and to understanding how each person learns and sees.

In our sessions, I start by asking and listening. We work from your photographs, with practical feedback to help you develop your own way of seeing.

Tell me what

A few practical things

Before we meet.

Who are the workshops for?

From confident beginners to photographers who already shoot regularly. We start with your photographs and adapt the exercises to your experience, interests and the things you find difficult.

What camera should I bring?

Bring any camera you feel comfortable using, including a phone. The focus is on seeing, timing and composition rather than buying equipment.

Where and when do we meet?

The in-person sessions take place in Barcelona, with dates arranged around availability. We agree on the meeting point and practical details by email before the workshop.

Can I book with a friend or a small group?

Yes. Tell me how many people would like to join and what you want to work on. I will put together a proposal for your group.

How does a remote portfolio review work?

We arrange a one-to-one online conversation around a selection of your photographs. We can discuss editing, sequencing, recurring themes or a project you are developing. The session lasts one hour and costs €60. We agree on a date and what to focus on before booking.

What is included, and how do I book?

The Barcelona workshops include a review of your work beforehand and guided practice with personal feedback. Both sessions include a 30-minute follow-up review call. The full day also includes an image review and a personal roadmap. Private prices are €90 for 3 hours and €180 for 6 hours; meals and other expenses are not included. The half-day deposit is €50 and the full-day deposit is €100, with the balance due before the session. Send an enquiry first; no payment is taken through this form.
