Experimental Photo Labs
Creative Photography Workshops to
play with color, texture and light.
For schools, creative studios, galleries, businesses, and teams.
An Invitation to Play
Experimental Photo Labs are hands-on workshops built around creative challenges: themes or constraints that push you to think differently, then translate those ideas into images using whatever's on hand — props, materials, filters, people, light, color, framing.
A fun, playful process for real experimentation.
Every session ends with images nobody expected to make.
Every lab starts with a creative challenge
Think through how to express the idea
Shoot, experiment, and play with material, color, texture, and light
The Process
01
Set the Intention
We work with a theme: so we start by defining the message, the mood, the emotions that we want to develop.
02
Build the Sensory Board
We create a full sensory direction, not just a moodboard: color, texture, materials, atmosphere. We pick all the elements that imspire us.
03
Create the Image
Lighting, composition, styling, posing. We explore, experiment, play with materials, and create lighting effects to translate the concept into a photograph.
A Unique Approach
Creativity is a skill, not a gift
Guided constraints — a theme, a material, a limit — make creative thinking easier to access and practice.
Multisensory builds stronger ideas
Working through color, texture, and material first makes the final image more intentional — and easier to explain.
Psychology, not just aesthetics
Every choice — color, prop, pose — is tied to a feeling. Participants learn to communicate on purpose.
Who It's For
Schools and universities.
Creative studios and galleries.
Businesses and teams.
Event organizers looking to offer something different to their community.
Each lab is adapted to the group and age, space, and context.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need a professional camera?
Not at all! Phone cameras are absolutely welcome. This isn't about gear—it's about creativity. Cameras can be rented with our partners.
Do we need to have experience with photography?
Not really. This is about building a creative process from scratch. It's about expressing ideas, emotions, and stories through sensations, lighting, and composition. Even without cameras or photography knowledge, you can go through the entire process, learn a lot, and create something amazing!
Are these workshops suitable for smaller kids?
I recommend students to be 10+ as we work with materials that might have small particles, as well as cameras and phones.
Will we be outdoor?
No, these workshops are mostly indoors. But once we create the photos, we might need to move outside or to different locations to achieve the vision. This always depends on the project, the students, the organization, and so on.
What language are the workshops in?
In English and/or Spanish, mostly. They are also available in French and Italian if you need to organize the event in a different language.
Can we book a workshop for a private personal event?
Of course! They can be a great activity for birthdays, hen parties, family time together, and more.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood... but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

¡Hola!
I'm Meg, a creative director and photographer with a background in fine arts and advertising.
I have synesthesia: sensations, sounds, and numbers appear as colors in my mind.
This led me on a 15+ year journey of exploring how we perceive and remember.
Today, using archetype psychology, color science, and sensory strategies, I help businesses build an identity with an actual personality behind it — not just a look. Most people don't notice the magic, but they feel it.
That awareness is what I bring to every project.
I also organize workshops and events in Valencia to help people explore creativity, self-expression, and storytelling.
