1O Ideas for a Photo Walk
July 28, 2020This 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
