Photowalking
Communal activity of camera enthusiasts
Photowalking is a communal activity of camera enthusiasts who gather in a group to walk around with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things that interest them. The word is sometimes used incorrectly in the marketing title of a photography class or workshop. Although the term implies the single activity of taking pictures while walking, the more modern use of the term specifically relates to a communal activity of camera enthusiasts.
The activity is typically organized by camera clubs,[citation needed] ad hoc gatherings from online forums such as Facebook or Twitter, usually led by experience photographers and sometimes are sponsored by commercial organizations. When Instagram had community development team, they encouraged global photowalks called Worldwide Instameet,[1] and this introduced photowalks to spread even wider globally. Since the COVID-19 pandemic some photographers and bloggers also started organizing virtual photowalks within their community, sharing their personal experiences around the globe.[2][3]
