FREE ❤️ Valentine’s Portraits – Barcelona Arc de Triomf 📸
Details
Join us for a global moment. 🗓️ ❤️ On Feb 14th, Barcelona joins other cities all over the world—from Tokyo to New York—to capture real human connection. 🌍
📸 Photographers of all levels—whether you’re shooting Digital, Film, Polaroid, or just starting out as a hobbyist. 🥰 This is your playground to practice portraiture, test new gear, and swap tips with fellow photographers in a high-energy, real-world setting. ✨
⚠️ Note: "No tripods, no external flash stands." Keep it handheld. If the police ask, we are a "Social Meetup of Friends," not a "Production." 🤝
💖 Calling all locals and visitors—couples, soulmates, and besties—who are happy to step in front of the lens. 📸 Help us document love and friendship in our city as part of a worldwide photo project. ❤️ Your story is at the heart of the movement. 💞

📍 Meet Up: Head to Honest Greens Arc de Triomf at the scheduled time. Just look for the group with the cameras!
🕒 For late comers: The Photo location will be at Arc de Triomf.
👋 Connect: This is a social mixer. Pair up with photographers and participants for quick, collaborative mini-sessions.
🎭 Let´s Play: It’s all about the vibe! Photographers—this is your playground to try a new lens or technique. Participants—just bring your best energy!
🤳 The Backup Plan: No photographer in sight? No problem! Don’t let those outfits go to waste. Find a fellow duo nearby and "Swap a Shot"—play paparazzi for each other or grab a killer selfie and tag us.

### ✨ Cómo funciona
- Únete a nuestro WhatsApp group: Es fundamental que entres para recibir actualizaciones de última hora y la ubicación en tiempo real durante el evento.
- Síguenos en Instagram: En @takeaphotowalkcommunity encontrarás toda la información sobre nuestros próximos eventos, así como las fotos del grupo y de nuestras rutas.
- Punto de encuentro: Acude a Honest Greens Arc de Triomf a la hora prevista. ¡Solo tienes que buscar al grupo que lleva las cámaras!
- Para los que lleguen tarde: La ubicación principal para las fotos será en el Arc de Triomf.
- Conecta: Esto es un "social mixer". Emparéjate con fotógrafos y participantes para realizar mini-sesiones rápidas y colaborativas.
- ¡A jugar!: ¡Lo más importante es el buen rollo! Fotógrafos: este es vuestro patio de recreo para probar ese nuevo objetivo o alguna técnica diferente. Participantes: ¡venid con vuestra mejor energía!
- Plan B "Comparte el amor": ¿No hay ningún fotógrafo a la vista? ¡Que no cunda el pánico! No dejéis que vuestros outfits se desperdicien. Buscad a otra pareja cercana y haced un "intercambio de fotos": haced de paparazzi los unos para los otros o ¡no olvidéis la selfie!
Galería Global: Etiqueta a @takeaphotowalkcommunity y usa el hashtag #takeaphotowalkbcn. ¡Las mejores fotos aparecerán en nuestra galería global oficial "Love in Focus" para que todo el mundo las vea!
