1O Ideas for a Photo Walk

This is a great time to try something new in your photography, stepping out of the norm to explore and expand your skills. A great activity is a themed photo walk of your neighborhood or local area. Walking and shooting with a theme can help you focus on something different, explore different styles of photography, and take a break from the routine.

Ideas for a quick photo walk: 

• Focus on finding Textures. Textures are everywhere. Capture those textures that you see or create textures with intentional camera movement or panning. 
• Focus on a color and only shoot that color
• Walk and shoot the alphabet—find images for each letter
• Shoot in black and white - looking for contrast and shadows
• Search for reflections or shadows as you walk 
• Start early in the morning and look for water drops, water reflections, and morning dew
• Look for creative light bokeh to capture in your images
• Geometry - focus on lines, buildings, and architecture
• Perspective - shoot things from a bird’s eye view or underneath 
• Movement - capture moving cars, bicycles, scooters, water, birds, and clouds
