You are in a beautiful landscape, you take your camera and... everything is so beautiful that you do not know what to shoot. Typical.

In this workshop, you will learn with photographer Carlos Givaja (Segovia, 1979) what matters in a picture, what makes it beautiful: in other words, how to find the perfect framing for a landscape. At the same time, he will explain how photography is a tool to better interact with the environment. Observing for understanding...

The activity will take place in the beautiful Sierra de Segovia. It is open to everyone who has an interest for photography. And it is not required to have a professional camera - a smartphone is enough! 
Dress Casual (jeans ok)
