Photography workshops in Madrid
For beginners and enthusiasts who want to stop relying on trial and error and start photographing with intention.
Pentaprisma offers practical, in-person photography workshops in Madrid focused on strengthening fundamentals through guided outdoor practice and structured feedback. These are not photo tours or classroom-based programs, but focused learning experiences built around clarity, practice, and real understanding in an urban environment.
If you recognise these situations
You adjust your camera settings but are unsure why the result changes.
You take many photos in the street, yet only a few feel deliberate.
You notice interesting scenes around you but struggle to organise them into strong compositions.
Online tutorials have given you information, but not confidence.
This is precisely what Pentaprisma addresses.

What Pentaprisma is
Pentaprisma is a structured photography workshop built around essential principles, real-world practice, and continuous feedback.
Photography workshops in Madrid take place outdoors, working in walkable urban areas and accessible parks that offer varied light, geometry, and movement without requiring long distances.
Instead of beginning with abstract theory, you start by photographing. The images you create become the basis for analysis, correction, and refinement.
You observe how intentional adjustments in framing, exposure, or timing influence the result. An image that initially feels chaotic or flat is gradually clarified while you understand the reasoning behind each change.
If a photograph lacks structure, we work on balance and direction. If it feels static, we explore depth and spatial relationships. Technical concepts are introduced only when they directly relate to what you are experiencing in that moment.
Each session alternates between visually engaging exercises and more analytical reflection, ensuring that learning remains active and grounded in practice.
The goal is to develop confidence and the ability to make deliberate photographic decisions independently.
Who leads the workshops in Madrid
Photography workshops in Madrid are led by Tomás Correa, founder of Pentaprisma.
His teaching approach emphasizes careful observation, practical experimentation, and conscious decision-making. Madrid’s varied streets, architectural lines, and changing light provide an environment well suited to focused work and visual exploration.
As he explains:
“Photography becomes clearer when you understand your choices. Working outdoors, moving through the city at a steady pace, makes those choices visible.”
