{GOOD} PHOTOS ARE EVERYWHERE is less about technical mastery and more about rediscovering the joy of looking, learning to recognize the moments that ask to be photographed, transforming them into powerful images, and understanding why they matter to us.

“After years working in commercial photography, I found myself asking a simple but essential question: why do I photograph? That question led me to look beyond assignments, clients, and technique and toward the quiet, personal instances that make me activate a camera. It reminded me of what images can really mean.
This workshop grows from that reflection. It’s an invitation to photographers, artists, and, most of all, curious observers to ask the same question for themselves.”

Over the course of twelve hours, we moved through a series of sessions that shaped the rhythm of the workshop. We began by exploring what makes a photograph speak, examining the elements that give an image its voice and resonance, and studying the work of photographers such as Philip-Lorca diCorcia and Bert Teunissen to understand how they constructed meaning through light, staging, and the quiet intensity of everyday spaces. From there, we shifted into a conversation about framing, sequence, and the decisive moment, learning how structure and timing can transform a single image or an entire series. Later, we opened the door to chance, collaboration, and the personal, embracing unpredictability and the role of our own experiences in the act of photographing. We ended the workshop with final presentations, sharing our work, our discoveries, and reflecting together on the question that naturally emerged: where do we go from here? We had an answer to that question. A follow-up class will be held virtually on January 15, 2026, and our dear photographers will continue developing their projects or series, applying the tools they learned during the workshop.

our photographers in this workshop: CARLOS ANLLO, FRIDA GETZEL, MYriam Macias, Analia Castro, Cristina Preti, Alejandro Cupi and Julie Torres.

We let go of the belief that good photographs demanded expensive gear, distant landscapes, or privileged access. Instead, we discovered that the most meaningful images often rose from simple, attentive seeing from the courage to pause and photograph whatever stirred us: a drifting cloud, a passing shadow, a shop window, the stillness of a pool, a lone streetlamp, the curve of a foot, or a food truck waiting at the corner.

As the days unfolded, we learned to listen to the photograph as it formed. Through framing, color, and composition, we shaped each image with intention, realizing that these small choices could transform the ordinary into something luminous, something that stayed with us long after the moment had passed.

What you see here is part of the result of that process.
