Thursday 5^th June – 11am-12pm

Environmental charity Thames21 invite you to join us for a special East London Thames photo walk. We will be teaming up with social-documentary photographer and community artist Sylvie Belbouab to run a special photography workshop whilst walking the ‘Royal Wharf’ walk.

We will not be walking along the Thames foreshore but will take in the Thames’ views and its surrounding ecosystem from ‘above’ the foreshore. We will start the walk from Pontoon Dock Station, walk through the Thames Barrier Park then along the Royal Wharf and through Lyle Park.

The walk will provide an opportunity to experience the Thames from an East London perspective. In fact, the Thames Barrier Park mirrors the Thames and offers a fantastic spot to take pictures from.

The entire walk is expected to take one hour. Maybe more, maybe less; depending on the turnout and the pace.

Attendees are welcome to join for as much or as little of the walk as they choose.

Please be prepared with comfortable and weather appropriate clothing and shoes, healthy snacks and plenty of water. Toilet and snack breaks will be incorporated into the day.

Sylvie will be documenting this journey with her camera & will encourage you to do the same. There’s no need for special cameras; you can bring your smartphones.

Sylvie will be able to offer technical advice on camera settings, exposures and composition, as well as encouraging those attending to share their technical photographic knowledge and interests with one another during the walk.
