Partial transcription of the video
“Observation is key to a photographer. In this lesson, we will explore a few neighborhoods in Madrid and then identify the one we want to explore further for our final project. We're finally traveling. How exciting. When I first get to a city, I like to just walk around and observe just to get a feel of the place. And to location scout of course. Madrid is a very walkable city and after research, I found that the two most interesting areas for me were Malazana and Lavapiers.”
