Downtown Photo Walk

Practice your photography in a fun group setting! We will walk around Calgary's Downtown neighbourhood to practice photography as a group. It's a good opportunity to try out street, architecture, portrait, abstract, and other types of photography. Otafest will be happening at the Telus Convention Centre, so we'll get a chance to photograph some of the cosplayers outside.

We are meeting at Harley Hotchkiss Gardens by 4th Street LRT Station. We'll explore the streets with our cameras for 1.5-2 hours then head to a cafe to warm up and chat over a complimentary refreshment.

The Downtown Photo Walks are hosted monthly in partnership with the Calgary Downtown Association (@downtowncalgary).

All levels are welcome and mobile phone cameras are perfectly fine if you don't own a DSLR or mirrorless camera.

Why go on a Group Photo Walk?

• Practice your skills in photography and observation in a collaborative environment.
• Meet other photographers in your area.
• See how other photographers see and shoot. Learn from each other!
• Feel more safe and comfortable while wandering around with your camera.
• Good exercise and a fun way to explore the city!

Please dress for the weather and be on time. We will depart from the meetup location 10 minutes after the start time.
