A Walking Street Photography Workshop Manchester – 30th May 2026

Hosted by: Michael Freeman
Saturday 30th May 2026, 11am to 3pm

About this Walking Street Photography Workshop

Join us for our next PhotoClub247 meet up as we head to the vibrant streets of Manchester! We are thrilled to have local street photographer Michael Freeman hosting this walk.

Michael knows Manchester inside out and is happy to share some of his favourite spots for great street images.

While Michael’s passion is for street photography, this walk is perfect for everyone. We’ll explore famous landmarks, but we’ll also wander off the beaten track to find unusual sites and lesser-known spots that most people walk right past. Whether you love capturing grand architecture, colourful graffiti, or the busy atmosphere of the city, there will be plenty for your lens to dive into.

On this walk you will learn about you will learn about storytelling and the importance of the 3 F’s in street photography.

You will also learn how to confidently approach a stranger and ask for a street portrait, as well as have a lot of fun!

We hope for good weather but if it pours (and it can in Manchester!) there is an indoor contingency at nearby Manchester Art gallery where fun assignments will be given around specific pieces of art.

What to Expect

  • A Bit of Everything: From historic buildings to the gritty, artistic vibe of Manchester’s street art.
  • Learn the Ropes: If you’re new to street photography, Michael is happy to share his favourite techniques, talk about the “rules of the road,” and suggest the best settings for your camera.
  • Friendly & Social: Just like all our walks, the main goal is to meet your online friends and enjoy a day out with people who love Street Photography as much as you do!

We’ll finish the session by finding a local spot to grab a drink, rest our feet, and share our favourite images from the day.
