Join us for a hands-on portrait photography workshop designed to help you learn through practice, experimentation, and real-world experience.

Through guided portrait photography practice, participants will learn how to observe and work with light to create emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling in their images. The focus is on learning by doing through real practice, experimentation, and guidance.

This is not a theory-heavy photography class. It is a structured, practical workshop designed to help people improve through experience.

Whether you’re new to portrait photography or looking to refine your skills, this is a supportive and creative environment where you can learn, connect with others, and develop your photographic eye.
Spots are limited – Maximum 12 participants to ensure personal guidance and enough shooting time.

Sometimes we want to take pictures, but don't know what to photograph, or don't feel inspired.
Or we want to take great pictures but we find them barely interesting.

So we will work on that, to feel more inspired, get more creative, and...have fun!

"Experiences that connect the dots in unusual ways" has been this group's motto/ethos since inception, so we are freakin-the-fk out about this one!
Colors. Barrios. Photos. Memories. Minds, rewired. Hearts, uplifted.
Welcome to a special series of events: Primary Colors Summer.

June 3 - Blue in El Grau
July 1 - Yellow in Petxina
August 5 - Magenta in Saidia

We are thrilled to partner with the color scholar and photographer Meg Rouje.
Each walkshop will introduce a new color with insights into its history, science, cultural impact, etc ... while we explore a different neighborhood of Valencia with an eye for that color.
TED Talk meets Photo Hunt meets open-air Standup.
This is not your average look-left/look-right proposition at all.
This is a look-within, a-ha, wow-now challenge.

MAGENTA IN SAIDIA
Magenta as the blood on snow, the ace of hearts, that Lady in Red ballad, wait how is it different from scarlet, and why does magenta sounds like an AI app? We'll meet in the park across the river from Torres de Serrano and take it from there: shade by shade, story by story, street by street.

RSVP: IMPORTANT (!)
This is a MeetUp co-production between All Over the Place and ValenFoto. Please, follow RSVP instructions for each event alternating between the groups.

COST
This event is FREE. The hosts will pass the hat at the end for welcome donations, but the point is to experience something extraordinary together.

ABOUT HOSTS
MEG ROUJE is a solo traveler, mom of a fluffy potato cat, IACC-certified color consultant, and photographer with synesthesia — she experiences names, music, and Tuesdays as colors. Which explains her lifelong obsession with it. Over the past 15+ years she has written a thesis on color perception and the anomalous mind, taught color strategy to businesses and creative teams, and convinced brands that absolutely everything comes down to the shade of blue they choose. Her writing has appeared in Fast Company, and she is the creator of the Colors of Valencia project, which explores what makes this city so magnetic.

ALEXEY TIMBUL is a storyteller who has taught at Academy of Art University (San Francisco) and International Fashion Academy (Paris). Since 2023 he's been on the jury of CLEC Fashion Festival in the City of Arts and Sciences, a host of Book Lovers Unplugged literary open mic at the only English language bookstore in Valencia, and the producer of @StandUpComedyValencia shows. Most importantly, Alexey is a fulltime Gemini with ADHD.
