Street Photography - Denver RiNo Distrcit
The Photo Walk — “You Asked for It” - Street Photography, Denver RiNo District!
Now that you’ve completed Photo 101, 201, or 301, take the next step and join Brian for a hands-on photo walk designed to help you practice what you’ve learned, refine your technique, and enjoy a relaxed group walk with fellow photographers.
The Photo Walk is designed for photographers who have taken Photography 101, 201 or 301 or who have a solid understanding of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This experience encourages you to put the “Dashboard” approach into action—learning to read light, make quick adjustments, and see photographically in real-world conditions.
During this 2-hour guided walk, you’ll explore one of Denver’s most visually rich neighborhoods while Brian provides real-time coaching, demonstrations, and Q&A stops along the way. You’ll gain confidence using your camera in changing light and learn how to tell stronger visual stories through composition and exposure control.
A great opportunity for anyone eager to take what they’ve learned online and put it into practice in the field.
