York: Guided Photography Walking Tour

Explore York with a photowalk that combines an opportunity to capture York's history, people, and architecture alongside in-depth photography tuition. Learn how to see creatively and encourage yourself to see the world with an artistic eye.

Meet your guide at the York Art Gallery and start your walk at the Minster with a 360 walk around, then a walk down to the bar walls at Bootham and up on to the walls giving wonderful views of the city.

Come back down to Monkbar and walk along down to the Shambles taking in a little local history and photographing along the way. Head down to Fossgate and through to The Merchant Adventurers Hall and the beautiful Gardens.

Continue back to Parliament street and stop and stroll through The Shambles Market along onto Swinegate, then to Stonegate. Walk to The Museum Gardens to take in St.Mary's Abbey, the remains of the Roman walls and The Hospitium, and then walk back across Lendal Bridge.

Learn to get more creative with your images, learn about composition and framing your subjects, learn how to get the most out of the available light, learn how to get the best angles of view, receive advice on lens choice, get help with camera settings, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO speed, receive lots of encouragement and expert advice, and feel more confident when out and about with your camera.

With a stop for refreshments and time to review your photos, talk through what you have taken. Run through some theory and look at how this can be applied practically.
