Leeds Photowalks

Walk the streets. Make photographs. Go home different.

Small-group street photography walks in Leeds — all levels, all cameras, no pressure. Led by Andy Ainsworth.

Book via Leeds Photography Club
001 / What to Expect

Two hours, a camera, and Leeds.

We meet outside Leeds Town Hall at 10am. We walk. We talk about what we're looking at, why we're drawn to it, how to turn the instinct into an image. Two hours, never rushed, never a lecture.

3 to 8 people per walk. Small enough that you get proper time and attention. Big enough for the energy. Bring whatever camera you've got — phone, compact, DSLR, film. It doesn't matter.

The photography is the vehicle. Getting out and seeing the world properly — that's the destination.
