About Me
As a passionate architectural photographer with over 20 years of expertise in the field, I have had the honor of collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including architects, interior designers and artists. I take immense pride in providing exceptional photography experiences that capture the true essence of every structure.
In recent years, I have received numerous requests for photography classes, so I have crafted a series of tailored student photography classes designed to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the art of photography. However, I firmly believe that the best way to grasp the art of architectural photography is by immersing oneself in the real-world environment, thinking and working like a seasoned professional on assignment. Consequently, I have decided to introduce photowalks for those eager to gain valuable insights into architectural photography while exploring Barcelona alongside a local guide.
Through these photowalks, you will not only discover the finest photographic spots; we will talk about composition, lighting, and framing in a relaxed way in order to discover what makes a good photo. Last but not least, we'll also uncover the optimal moments of the day for capturing the essence of each building or landmark. After all, photography revolves around understanding light, and this is precisely what you will learn during our immersive sessions!

My experience as an architectural photographer
Originally from Florence, my name is Lorenzo Vecchia and I’ve been professionally photographing architecture, interiors and still life for 20 years. In recent years, I’ve been commissioned to work with architects, interior designers, hotels, restaurants, the fashion industry and the luxury real estate market in both Spain and Italy. You can check my professional portfolio HERE.
At different stages of my life I’ve studied programming, photography and art: from this heterogeneous mix my passion for digital image comes out.
In 2000 I moved from Florence to Barcelona, and now it’s been half of my life living here in Spain. I love Barcelona, it’s an incredible vibrant city, it's the perfect balance of great historical heritage and modern life. When I’m not shooting for clients, I focus my work on personal projects based on urban landscape and interiors.

I already knew Barcelona; It is a city that has attracted me for many years, but getting to know it from a different perspective was what I needed to discover it even more, and what better way to do it than with a camera, and take real photos with the help of a professional photographer. With Lorenzo and his way of getting to know Barcelona, you are no longer a tourist!

I loved the experience. I would do it again. The way I look at and discover things has changed, since then I imagine everything behind a lens, or a phone. So I would like to discover other places, cities. Lorenzo, really friendly and educational (very important for an amateur like me). I hope Lorenzo continues, we all loved it, Barcelona too!
