Photo-therapy Walks in Norwich

New for 2024 I am introducing photo-therapy walks. I’m not a therapist, but I have been a photographer (both as a hobby and for selling my work professionally) for many years, and I know how therapeutic it can be to focus (excuse the pun) on taking pictures.

Being outside is the perfect way to blow away your cares (sometimes literally), enjoy a walk around the beautiful and historic city of Norwich, and meet some like-minded people.

Whether you are looking for a new hobby or you already enjoy photography, these walks are for you. Please bring cameras, or smartphones, whatever you feel comfortable using. Ensure your device is fully charged and ready for action!

If you are a total beginner, I will be happy to help you learn the basics of photography. It will be a friendly, easy-going environment. Groups will be no more than five (including myself), but no less than three. Don’t worry; there will be plenty of dates and times to choose from, so if you miss out on one walk, I will repeat it soon enough.

Also, of course, the walks will be weather dependent. Mostly I ignore the weather, but high winds or heavy rain are no fun. I will keep an eye on the forecast and plan walks accordingly, but as we all know, forecasts are changeable, so walks may have to be re-booked if necessary. Dress for the weather!

Norwich, as you will already know, is a fascinating city and lends itself to capturing wonderful pictures. We will go to all of the well-known landmarks and some places you may not know of at all. We won’t be able to do it all in one walk. That is why I am keeping fees low, so that you are able to come on as many walks as you wish.

This isn’t going to be a photography course, but I will create challenges and give tips along the way. The idea is for the walks to be relaxed and fun, and for you to go home with pictures you have enjoyed shooting.

As well as cityscape and architectural photography, we will look out for flowers and wildlife along the way.

Something I personally find enjoyable is street photography. I will create sessions for those who are interested in doing that too.

Walking around and taking photographs can be thirsty work. There will be time to stop for coffee, tea, and snacks. If you know Norwich at all, there are plenty of excellent cafes.

If there is a particular area of the city you are interested in photographing, please let me know, and I will tailor a walk to suit.

While I know some of the history of Norwich (and I am happy to impart what I know), these walks really are to concentrate on photography. I can highly recommend Paul Dickson the Norwich tour guide who is hugely knowledgeable on the historical facts and stories of the city.

Walks will be for two hours. £10 per person.

Please subscribe below if you are interested, and I will advise of walk times and details as soon as they become available.

I look forward to meeting you!
