What can you expect from the Norwich Photowalk?
This photo walk is aimed at photography beginners and enthusiasts, though those who want to test out the range of equipment or enjoy a day out with our photography community are more than welcome!
With a lot of freedom to work at your own pace, Carol will help you navigate your way around and help you produce great images. There is less focus on in-depth tuition and genre theory, however, you do have the opportunity to talk directly to Carol who will be able to answer your specific photography queries.
This photo walk will allow you to take in some of the most historic parts of Norwich including the bustling Norwich Market, the art deco beauty of The Royal Arcade, the Norman Norwich Cathedral and its cloisters, the Tudor cobbled lane of Elm Hill and the River Wensum.

These will include tips for street photography, black and white photography, composition, and how to anticipate a compelling story to freeze the moment in time.
