EyeEm's Free Photography Masterclass Session in London - Broke in London


EyeEm’s Free Photography Masterclass Session in London

Brush up your photo skills for free around the capital

Gone are the days when having a keen interest in taking photos meant a lot of expensive kit, a hefty camera bag, and a more than intimate knowledge of the inside of a dark room. In this day and age of Instagram, iPhones, and affordable SLRs, everyone fancies themselves as a bit of a photographer. One of the best ways to keep up with the picture snapping Joneses is to go on an organised photowalk, where more seasoned enthusiasts will take you on a tour of a locale taking images along the way and discussing the ins and outs of the artform. But these can be an expensive luxury themselves, so what better way to get started than a completely free masterclass tour around central London?

Photography community EyeEm are providing just that this Saturday 3rd May, starting at the statue of Boadicea on the corner of Westminster Bridge. Participants need only a camera and a keen eye for a photo to attend the day, where members of the community from around the capital will gather to take in some of the photographic opportunities that the city has to offer, including street photography, architecture, and cityscapes to name a few. The event is part of EyeEm’s Global Meetup Day, coordinated with 50 cities around the world, from Tokyo to Berlin, from New York to London. Each day event is being hosted by volunteers and EyeEm ambassadors, to provide what we’re assured will be a very approachable atmosphere for photographers of all ages and abilities.

Fortunately, the weather looks like it’s going to hold up this weekend too, so no excuses for not getting outside and appreciating some of the finer sights of London, and hopefully taking home some beautifully crafted images, as well as the knowledge of how to capture them in the future too.

More information on the event can be found on the official Facebook page below. Happy snapping!
