Photographic Gallery SMA - 37700 San Miguel de Allende

Wonderful place and great, interesting staff!

I learned so much in one short visit. Worth the detour for photographers.

Attended a very informative, free, discussion/social about form/composition this morning with over 20 fellow photography enthusiasts. Beginners and pros can benefit. This group meets weekly on Saturdays at 11.

This is a unique photo gallery ! Professionals and amateurs come together every Saturday morning to share experience ... Workshops and trips are organized in both Mexico, Caribbean and Central America...I took a photoshop course that finally allowed me to begin doing something about the thousands of photos I have...a great place to meet like-minded folks in San Miguel de Allende

This is an AWESOME gallery. One of the co-owners of the Gallery is Mexican and the other is American, so both Spanish and English are spoken there. The workshops are fabulous. Every Saturday at 11 am, many of the best photographers in San Miguel meet at the Gallery for coffee and presentations on topics of interest to photographers. Come on by. Habla español, the coffee is hot and the cookies are homemade!

I have taken several classes at the Galeria, including Street Photography, Photoshop and Nik Software. The classes have helped me to become a better photographer and given me the tools to print better images. I have also gone on quite a few photography workshops with Jo around Mexico as well as Cuba and Guatemala. I plan on attending workshops later this year in Real De Catorce, Copper Canyon and Oaxaca. The workshops are generally limited to 6 to 8 participants, very informative, and you get to take photos in beautiful and interesting locations. The Saturday morning socials are a great place to meet other photographers and to pick up a few good tips. I highly recommend the Galeria, and the classes and workshops to anyone interested in photography.

I have been going to Jo Brenzo's Saturday social group each year that I come to San Miguel. The group has given me the opportunity to not only learn, but meet other like-minded photographers. In addition, Jo offers a variety of stimulating workshops on site. I took her street photography workshop. She has tremendous knowledge about every detail of photography from how to use your camera to editing. Best of all Jo is offers photography workshops throughout Latin America. I went with her to Cuba...what a delight! She knew every aspect of Cuban life. She has maintained friendships with the locals going back each year to visit with pictures she took the year before. Jo let’s you grow as a photographer...she is organized, has thorough handouts, and a schedule so you can plan accordingly. Jo has workshops to Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Oaxaca, Chiapas and more. I will be going to Argentina with her this year for a thirteen day workshop.

A warm and welcoming place where you can enjoy and learn a lot about photography and also about innovative concepts, techniques and creative approaches to the art form Today. It's also a wonderful hub of established artists both local and international, who are very friendly and willing to share with you about their own personal work, as well as the curator, artist and founder Jo ,who's vast knowledge, life-long dedication and genuine artistic spirit is surely an incredible asset to San Miguel de Allende. There are inspiring exhibitions and workshops offered year round, and Saturdays at 11 the center either has a meet-up or opening well worth visiting! AND it's smack dab in the historical center!
