SSP TUE - CITY LIGHT & SHADOWS IN MONOCHROME : Sydney’s Little Laneways
Details
For this photography walk, we’ll explore a very different side of Sydney CBD — its narrow laneways, hidden passages, old sandstone walls and urban spaces — with a particular focus on light, shadow and monochrome photography.
We will follow the City of Sydney Culture Walks route “Hidden – Sydney’s Little Laneways”, which winds through some of the lesser-known lanes and back streets of central Sydney.
Rather than concentrating on Sydney’s familiar landmarks, the aim of this walk is to look more closely at the city itself: shafts of sunlight falling between tall buildings, deep shadows in narrow lanes, repeating architectural lines, reflections, textures, silhouettes and people moving through patches of light.
During the walk, we’ll look for opportunities to photograph:
*strong contrasts between sunlight and shadow
- people and silhouettes entering pools of light
*geometric shapes, lines and repeating patterns - sandstone, brick, concrete and other urban textures
*narrow laneways framed by taller buildings - reflections and layered compositions
*small details that become more striking when colour is removed
