PHOTO WALK: San Isidro Festival • Madrid 🌳📷

Capture the Fiestas de San Isidro with a focus on chromatic density in chaos. The goal is to walk straight into messy, busy environments and use color itself to organize and compose the photos. Inspired by the work of Harry Gruyaert and his book Homeland, we will seek out the saturated, the graphic, and the quintessentially Madrilenian.
Walk, shoot, and connect with photographers & creators.
Beginners, enthusiasts, and pros — all are welcome.

### EVENT FLOW

11:00 | Meet & Connect
We’ll gather at the meeting point to introduce ourselves and discuss how to look for Gruyaert-esque color palettes amidst the morning crowds before the host leads the way.

11:30 | Main Walk
We will dive into the heart of the festival. Expect high-contrast light, the vivid reds and whites of traditional chulapoattire, and the visual noise of the fairgrounds. We will treat the "mess" not as a distraction, but as our primary subject.

13:00 → Optional lunch or drinks
Post-walk coffee, drinks and entresijos nearby for those who want to stay.
