What you can expect
Unlock the colourful neighbourhoods of Psiri and Monastriraki in central Athens, under the watchful eye of a local professional photographer. Moving beyond landscapes and monuments, this Athens street photography tour and workshop will bring another dimension to your experience of the Greek capital.
Through small narrow streets to large “plateia” or squares, you will capture the flavour of modern Athens and its people, along with the vibrant street art and traditional workshops from coppersmiths to sandal makers.
Framing and timing will be the key aspects of this workshop, to create images that are decisive and poignant. Psiri and Monastiraki are brimming with urban character and tremendous photographic opportunities. Your guide will train your eye to capture images that make an impact and teach you how to navigate your surroundings whilst working with light, colour and different backgrounds.
You will expand your ability to choose compelling subjects and portray them in more meaningful ways. The best travel experiences occur when meeting locals and a camera provides the perfect way to overcome all sorts of barriers and discover the authentic culture.
