The Photo Walk Club

Cameras, Cafés, Conversations

About

Your host, Hamna


Photography has always been more than just taking photos. It’s how I slow down and notice the world around me - whether I’m traveling or at home in Chicago


When I lived in Washington, D.C., I attended many photo walks while working a high stress corporate job. Photo walks became my creative outlet. More importantly, they became a way for me to meet and connect with incredible creatives, some of whom I’m still friends with today. I’ve always loved the energy of meeting new people everywhere I go, and I wanted to create a space that makes that kind of connection easy.


The Photo Walk Club is a space to be outside, connect with fellow creatives and practice photography skills and equipment. There’s something special about exploring spaces with others who are also paying attention to the little things
