    The analogue photography and film development workshop was an absolutely wonderful experience. The instructor, Lea, was amazing, knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about photography. She carefully taught every aspect of analogue photography, from understanding the camera to developing the film, making the entire process both accessible and inspiring.

    What made the experience even more special was how she incorporated the city into the learning journey. She showed me parts of the city I had never seen before, which added a unique and creative dimension to the workshop. It felt like both a photography class and a discovery tour at the same time.

    I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in analogue photography. It was educational, inspiring, simply perfect.

    I really enjoyed the workshop. We learnt about some less common photography techniques (multiple exposure, full manual shooting) and then developed the photos ourselves - which was so fun that I’m planning to do it at home too. The vibe was relaxed and being just 2 gave us a lot of dedicated, hands-on learning. Thank you!

  • Great experience.
    Lea is a great teacher and a super friendly person.

  • The workshop was excellent from start to finish. The teacher brings great energy, clear guidance and a smooth rhythm to the whole day. The developing session was calm, well-structured and easy to enjoy. A full, inspiring day dedicated to analogue photography with someone who knows how to teach.

  • The workshop was amazing, Lea is a great teacher and as a very nice way of explaning everything, with a beatiful route to photograph in lisbon in analog, giving you all the help you need to master ıt along the way and finishing by developing the film and seeing the pictures you took is the cherry on top of the cake, 1000% recommend! Great expirience will repeat for sure!
