Urban Street Photography Walk: Little Venice to Portobello Market
Details
On this photo walk, we're taking a completely different approach to West London, skipping the usual tourist bottlenecks at Notting Hill Gate. We’ll explore the transition from picturesque, tranquil canal to gritty urban spots, through to vibrant local market. Beginners and experienced photographers are all welcome.
- Little Venice: We start along the scenic canal towpath by the colourful narrowboats, boat owners and canal life before heading toward Meanwhile Gardens where the scene shifts and the traditional urban street photography scenes open up.
- Golborne Road: The heart of the local Moroccan and Portuguese communities. With a quieter flea market and community vibe, the area offers great opportunities for candid street portraits and urban scenes, overlooked by the iconic brutalist style Trellick Tower.
- Portobello Road: We’ll walk the length of the market in reverse. Entering from the northern end lets us catch the local characters first, before following the street's natural transition into the Notting Hill Gate traditional starting point which is where we'll end things.
Please note that this is not a teaching workshop event. However, if you have any street photography questions or need advice during the walk please feel free ask me. As an extra bonus I've created a Street Photography Cheat-Sheet available for free download for members.
Optional. We will end the photo walk at a pub or cafe for a quick drink for those who wish to regroup socially post walk.
