Here’s a recap by Severin who was at the festival:

Barcelona was really exciting for me. Not only because one of our EyeEm Ambassadors, Carol, was organizing the festival and we hosted an exhibition with photos from the EyeEm community there, but also because of all the people I’ve met. Suddenly the people you interact with online become real. It makes you realize how much photography and photo sharing connects us.

I especially enjoyed meeting our local EyeEm Ambassadors Carol & Guillermo, Suzana who flew in from Romania, Phil González from Instagramers.com, Thomas Kakareko from Berlin, VuThéara Kam from Paris, Roberto from Contestgram, Luis Torres & Milos Kalvin from Shootermag, Cris Jiménez, Manuela Matos Monteiro, Tizzia, Blanca, Raset, Raquel, Steven and everyone who attended our EyeEm Meetup Barcelona.
