DATE

12.11.2026

Víctor González and Javier Herrero, members of FSA LAB at the Fran Silvestre Arquitectos studio, led the photo retouching session focused on enhancing visual communication in architecture.

During the class, students deepened their skills in optimizing photographs captured during previous shoots, making extensive use of Adobe Photoshop and advanced editing methodologies. Throughout the exercise, participants were able to analyze in detail how post-production is articulated in a professional environment and how each specific adjustment influences the final result of the image.

The session provided an exhaustive exploration of the variety of tools offered by the software for the technical and artistic treatment of captures. Practices ranged from basic corrections to complex procedures focused on color adjustment, contrast control, lighting modeling, and the compositional balance of frames.

Additionally, the activity conveyed a comprehensive overview of the characteristic workflow at FSA LAB, demonstrating how photography and editing are actively integrated into the firm’s conceptual and design processes. It was emphasized that rigorous post-production not only elevates aesthetic quality, but also reinforces the architectural narrative and ensures the clear transmission of the concepts expressed in each design.

The workshop serves to strengthen the students’ retouching skills and broaden their understanding of the synergy between architecture, design, and image. Participants consolidated post-production as an essential phase for presenting projects professionally, ensuring that the visual material faithfully reflects the precision and quality that define the studio.
