Wakefield Photowalk with Jake Barradell-Smith

On this photowalk you will experience a guided approach to making photographs and responding to our locality in Wakefield. We’ll be celebrating the accessibility of photography today and acting on those ‘I’ve got to take a photo of that!’ moments. Bring along your own digital or analogue camera, or mobile phone – whatever lens you’re working with.

The day will begin at 10am with a group meet up at The Art House, where you will have the opportunity to hear from your tutor about their practice and creative process. You will spend time gaining inspiration from The Art House’s growing photobook library before beginning the photowalk.

During the photowalk, you will have the opportunity to seek technical and creative guidance from your tutor as we take a gentle walk around city centre space. We’ll then finish the day off with a 15 minute regroup at The Art House, where we can reflect as a group on the photographs we made. You will leave this workshop having gained a more enriched outlook on the act of making photographs, also having made a series of new photos yourself.
