WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Participants are expected to have good understanding their cameras as well as an understanding of basic image selection. Owning a Leica is not required, however, you must bring your personal camera for this photo walk (Leica Store Miami will not be loaning out cameras.) This is a rain or shine walk, so you will need to be prepared for the weather.

NOTES

The experience involves a good amount of walking. During the photo walk, participants should expect to walk at least 5 miles as we move through the city looking for where light meets shadow and seeking out the dramatic and often fleeting moments of light on the streets of Miami. 

Enrollment is strictly limited.
