How it works

Receive your Photo Challenge and then follow your guide to interesting hubs in the area. The Photo Challenge will be different each fortnight.

These PhotoWalks are part social outings – we encourage you to meet other photographers like yourself or better still unlike yourself.

In addition to making new friends who also love photography, you will sharpen your observation skills and develop your understanding of this fundamental aspect of photography. We also encourage participants to stick around after the session to socialise.

Who this is for

Beginners, Professionals, Creative people, Travellers, Enthusiasts. Tourists, Artists

Benefits

  • Learn tips for creative photography from experienced photographers.

  • Socialise and connect with local Sydney photographers.

  • Get help with your ideas before you travel on holiday!

Equipment required
