We started Sevilla Photowalk as a group of two and little by little many other people joined us, without them nothing of this could’ve been possible.

In 2008 I organized my first photowalk in Mérida (Badajoz) due to the idea that came up in flickr: make a national photowalk in every city in the country. That experience taught me a lot: it was a fun activity, a very didactic one, that allowed me to take better photos and learn how to use my newly bought reflex camera. Organizing every event was the negative part because I had to insist to my friends and people I knew during weeks to try to convince them to join the activity. Sometimes it was almost stalking :-).

After the first photowalk I organized few more, almost 24 of them, in Mérida and when I moved to Sevilla I decided to keep it on this time using the platform meetup.com which made it much easier to keep in touch and spread the voice about the group.

Since we started, in may of 2017 we organized some photowalks with more than 40 asisstants, from different countries all around the world and its been a great activity at all levels.

Before I started to organize the Photowalks I had a very limited photography knowledge. I have been to some expositions and had few photographers whos job I admired but little more than that. I barely had any idea of how to use my Fuji…

I joined Diego in this project because it was a great chance to learn, something that I have been willing for a long time. As he had some experience organizing photowalks before and he was also an amateur photographer I had no doubts.

Today after more than a year organizing our meetings I can say that I learned a lot and improved even more. During our first photowalk I had to shoot about 8 times in order to get a photo that would not be overexposed or underexposed and now I can manage my camera in all kind of situations.

I still have a lot to learn but I realized that the activities we organize in PHWK are the best way to improve your skills almost without being aware of it and not even to mention the great people you meet during de process. Little by little our group is growing and im really happy to be part of it. All of us, myself included are willing to be creative in order to organize even greater meetings each time.
